Great mature Chinon. Thinning ruby - age shows in the body but not at all in the colour. Restrained, jammy nose: possibly slightly confected - candied red fruits. Gentle red pepper on the back of the nose. Initially, typically Chinon - a touch of chocolate, for example - then mellows quickly into a beautifully soft, dry wine with mixed red and some black fruits plus a little blueberry. Still a little hint of acid on an otherwise luscious finish.

Lovely plump, sweet nose, full of red berries and a floral note. Well balanced and quite elegant with chalky tannins countering the spicy black fruits. Very enjoyable.

Really forward nose of sweet fruits, a little floral and very open. The palate is filled with dusty black fruit, nicely balanced with well resolved tannins and a little bit of cedar spice on the finish. Lovely.

Lovely perfumed nose with notes of violet and redcurrant. A lovely delicate style, fresh and balanced with floral fruits, a little cedar and graphite and a touch of spice form the fine, well resolved tannins. Excellent value at under £10.
