  Really fragrant with herbal and spice on the nose, lavendel, apperance of mineral rather than fruit.
  Plum in madeira (alcohol on the nose)
  Palate Green, getting the bellpepper, but also like coriander seeds on the aftertaste. Persistent, and consistent wine.
  
  Late update, stayed quite green through the bottle day 3. I read my older tasting note wich states that this is not green. Seems a bit odd, that it has a vegetative phase...

  Note of black tea, green pepper, dark cherry. Lively acidity up front that glides into a long finish. Good now, but like most Chinons I imagine this will last many years.

  Floral on the nose day one, dark but light on its feet on the palate.
  
  Day two more of the dark tar and black peppery spice comes through. Complex nose, metallic oregano (why not?), long tannins on the palate. Comes across as clean and not green (pyrazine).
  
  This is my first Alliet: A nice lesson from Chinon. Keeps me interested all through the bottle. Glad to learn more over the coming years.
