  stylistically correct. “Earth is driving the bus”. Fruit is subdued. Minimal pyrazines, not overly herbaceous. Screamin’ high acidity - this will take the enamel off your teeth!! Ow!!!
  
  6 years later, it still takes an hour or two to open up. Suggest waiting a few more years or pairing with steak frites and a garden salad with a very tangy vinaigrette...

  Monthly Tasting Group EEE #058 : France, Loire, Cabernet Franc (@ BD): In the bouquet creamy cherries, not extremely expressive, but certainly fresh. On the palate cherries and lactic impressions. Mild acidity and tannin. Maybe wait another year?

  An always dependable Chinon from Kermit Lynch, I always enjoy this wine and consider it a bargain for everyday drinking, especially now that Chicago has turned much colder.
