Tasting Notes "This bottle gives you what you expect from Chinon but with added depth. Deep ruby in color, this wine has an aromatic nose of macerated black raspberry, red cherry compote, black tea, strawberry and dried hay. There are dried red- and black-fruit elements on the nose with some grippy tannins on the finish." - Wine Enthusiast
