The nose reminds me of the bright fresh red fruit and roses we experience in the tank room of a red wine just starting the fermentation process. Lots of fresh strawberry and cherry with some wet dirt and really intense aroma of roses. Rich mouth feel and texture. Spicy, green garden and earthy components compliment the ripe berry fruit on entry. Very earthy Loire style minerality. Complex finish with more exotic, enhancing, non fruit than fruit lingering flavors.

Fruit a bit too sour, yeasty. On the dry side. Has all the expected Chinon pointers but is too short. Decent with food but I wouldn’t buy again.

Dried herbs are an interesting mix

This is a nice, easy drinking Chinon, but not very complex.

Medium color, body, finish. Black cherry. Old wood. Spicey. Stewed. Baked. Barnyard. Volcanic.
Extra delicious when paired with dark chocolate, which seemed to pull additional flavors out of the wine.
