1996 Perrieres, Domaine de la Chinon Vieilles Vignes

7th Oct 1998 GBP10 Loire Table Red

[Served lightly chilled]
Deep, opaque purple.
Dense, dark fruits on the nose with a trace of oak - enticing.
Light to medium bodied with some juicy, black cherry fruit, plenty of acidity and dry tannins.
Good, dry, peppery finish.
Lovely and light, it should keep developing for a year or two.
