Dark opaque garnet red color. Powerful nose of tar, green pepper, eucalyptus, and black currant. Powerful palate presence that shows tons of structure and good balance. Finishes great with some dark (80%+) chocolate. Still feels primary, but seems to have the stuffing to improve for many years and hold for another many. Given my only recent experience with Chinon, I'm not sure how comfortable I feel with providing a definitive drinking window, but based on my experience with other areas, I'd say this is 5 years minimum from the early part of the drinking window and should hold for at least 10 years.
