Joguets middle of the range Chinon. 6 years old, just opened it. nose of herbs, dark red fruits and leather. taste of cherries & berries. again some leather and now also some dried fruits, result of ageing. Can be kept for some additional time, here Joguets quality shows. not bad! And hey, no greenness yet ;-O

Cab Franc nose with a bit of green. Soft attack, mellow taste, some fine-grained tannin but not much. Decent finish & length. All is OK, nothing to indicate real character. An entry-level Chinon that gives you an idea of what the real stuff might be about.

Followed Elfgren advice. Decanted 1 h but improves even more with 3h! Very nice wine then.
