2011 Chinon Clos de la Dioterie

From a vintage with a very warm summer and rainy September, the monopole 2011 Chinon Clos de la Dioterie is more earthy on the nose and displays some green asparagus and also oaky notes. Soft and elegant on the palate, with good finesse and vegetal flavors, this is a very elegant, balanced and gastronomic Cabernet with a juicy and floral finish that exhibits violet and licorice flavors. The tannins are fine and juicy, and the wine is stimulating and very, very elegant.
