Very discreet on the nose with some light peppery and fruity notes.Light bodied palate with liquorice,bell pepper,dark fruit and a tiny hint of barnyard.Firm and smooth tannins.Pretty elegant but perhaps a little diluted with a shortish finish.Pleasant and easy drinking though.

It had on the nose some sweet notes of cherry and bell pepper. Taste was light bodied with very little acidity and hardly no tannins. There were hints of herbals and some red berries, like lingonberry and cranberry. It was very nice to drink without any food and to taste what 100% Cabernet Franc tastes like.

Quite a textbook nose with notes of red- and blackcurrant, bell pepper, pencil shavings, leather (as well as some manure), oak spice, a hint of chocolate and some leafy characteristics. Rather lightbodied with refreshing acidity and some tannin bringing structure. Aromatically in line with the nose, but also giving some herbal bitters -feel and a touch of liquorice. Clean finish with medium length. This is an easy-drinking and food-friendly light Chinon. And I like it.

A little thin, even for a C.F. Needs time to open up.
