Tasting note

The intensely yellow-colored 1990 Chinon displays a matured and intense bouquet with some gasoline and machine oil aromas. Rich and intense on the palate, this is a full-bodied, potent and powerful Chenin Blanc that was fermented in stainless steel and bottled quite early at that time. The finish is a bit bitter but also rich and aromatic. This should be excellent with the right food. I tasted the wine from a bottle that was opened 10 hours before.

Score: 90
