  Intense dark fruit, green bell pepper, earthy notes and hints of chocolate. Way too young, though. Next bottle in +5 years.

  Quite open and lush right now. That classic nose that you wish Cabs from CA still have. Deep berry and cassis reinforced with cedar, tobacco and peppers. Plush fruit with medium and resilient tannin and solid acidity. Some what fleshy. I think the alcohol might be a tad higher than listed or its just not carried as well due to the big vintage. Overall a classic Chinon. Right in there with some of the better bottlings from the region. Five to ten years for best is likely. Can go much longer. Very good.

  Un très bon Chinon. Encore jeune mais une grosse coche au dessus de la moyenne de l'appelation.
