Extremely delicate #Chinon #wine Every part of the wine is quick. High pink flower aroma. Light perfumey, cranberry, with a green, leathery finish.

Delicate with notes of dusty earth and licorice. Slightly thin this vintage.

very floral, red fruits slightly unripe, cardamom clove and other spices, hint green, beautiful paired with vegan cous cous

Gravelly, floral, nice spice and firm acidity. I'm a fan of this style of wine but this take some settling into. That said - good stuff.

Tart, deliciously funky cranberry & cherry, with lead and purple flowers and a bright kiss of acidity.
