Chateau de Coulaine Bonnaventure Chinon 2002

[Thraz]

$19 at PJ Wines. I've posted on the 2001 before. The 2002 feels fresher. Cherries on the nose and palate, good finish, very noticeably cabernet franc, very good. Seems more forward and fruitier than the 2001, also I detected no tannins while the 2001 had some soft tannins. I think overall I still prefer the 2001 but this is very nice too.
