The medium to dark ruby/purple-colored 1998 Chinon Coteau de Noire reveals violet and blueberry aromas. Medium-bodied and velvety-textured, this is a dense, black fruit-flavored offering. Well-extracted and powerfully flavorful, this wine should be at its peak between 2001 and 2006. A Daniel Johnnes Selection – Imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Syosset, NY; tel (516) 677-9300
