Default funky odor to a chambourcin?

Lee,

The obvious question is "How does it taste?" The reason I ask is that
Chambourcin seems to me to have more taste & mouthfeel than smell/aroma.

As to being foxy or not, Chambourcin is 7/8 vinifera, and hasn't a trace
of foxiness. It makes a darned nice wine, especially if you blend with a
more tannic grape. I use it as the base of my red blend and get a rich,
smooth Beaujolais (not nouveau!) style from it. Don't give up on it yet.
