93 ST. "Dark ruby color. Fabulous perfumed aromas of raspberry, strawberry, cocoa powder, grilled meat, minerals, leather and sandalwood. Sweet, bright, juicy, spicy red berry flavors offer outstanding intensity. Tactile, rich and deep. Finishes with ripe, fine tannins and outstanding persistence. A great Chinon, and a perfect manifestation of the sappy freshness of this vintage." Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Nov/Dec '98 |
