Jean-Maurice Raffault Chinon Clos d'Isoré 2011

Red
Chinon, France
7.0
WineSaint

Bright cherry and blackcurrant fruit shows impressive energy, lifted by rose hip and white pepper aromatics. The palate carries excellent tension though the tannins remain somewhat coarse and need integration. Classic Loire structure with mineral backbone. Give this several years to develop proper richness.
