This Philippe Alliet Vieilles Vignes Chinon is a robust and complex wine, with aromas of blackberry, black cherry, graphite, cedar, and a hint of smoke.On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with a smooth and round tannin profile and a long, lingering finish. The flavors of dark fruit and spice are predominate, and the finish is silky and seamless. This is a well-crafted and elegant wine that will cellar well for years to come.
