Deep garnet. Blackberry, ripe black plum, cherry, and vanilla, layered with notes of black pepper, licorice, smoke, leather, and earthy spice. Full-bodied and fruit-forward on the palate with velvety texture and a long finish. Balanced with medium acidity and tannins. There’s a touch of rustic mustiness initially, but it opens beautifully with air. Let it breathe and you’ll be rewarded. It’s only going to get more interesting with age. — 5 months ago

One of the bottles from my annual WWC hosting. I opened this as a side by side to a 2019 Saxum White as the makeup is fairly similar.

80% roussanne/ remaining a mix of Grenache Blanc, Clairette, piquepoul blanc, picardan and bourboulenc.

Nicely expressive at pop, it then faded and hid in a shell for a few hours before coming back at last glass. At 80% roussanne, I expected a more consistent expressive profile (honeyed tropical fruits, some orange) and for the acid to show a touch, but it was a roller coaster. More melon and light fruits vs bigger/more tropical. Medium bodied but not as rich as expected. It’s clean and shows some floral and mineral/stony nuances, but I’d spend the extra and take the Roussanne VV to get more complexity and flavor. — a month ago
