Classic Chinon. Black olives, pencil lead, graphite and bell pepper skin. Elevated acidity. Well made!

Inky but not overpowering. Does not have the peppers on a typical cab franc. Bit of leather and pencil to round it off!

Incredibly ‘fresh’ for such a great tannic structure. Blueberry, leather, really lovely.
