A really fine Chinon with darker fruit than may be typical. Almost curranty fruit marries with tobacco, ancho chili, crushed violets, and potting soil in a plush styled wine with good acidity and supporting tannins that gives this a wonderful mouthfeel. The finish continues the theme with a bit more pronounced acidity refreshing the palate and pushing the fruit more towards the red end of the spectrum. Very fresh yet very ripe and very difficult to finish the entire bottle. 90pts
