#beaujolaislatignie this is the first time I’ve tried a Latignie appellation wine. 100% #Gamay I’m really impressed with how well it is still tasting. #handharvested it’s 14.5% and it really resembles Garnacha blind. This is a theme now with me, I think blind, (if not made in 100% carbonic) Gamay and Garnacha can seem quite similar. Especially the Beaujolais Cru. — 15 days ago

Blood-ruby, undiluted tenor from rim to rim. Blackberry-cran with a smoky coat, violets, raspberry reduction, wild nettle, suede, rose petal, dried cherry, applewood, and gingerly ginger, spare cedar, finest snuff, cherry pit and damp clove spiced nose. All with a slight memory of campfire. Black plum, cedar, violet, dried, sour cherry, dark leather, peppercorn, dried cranberry and red currant, cinnamon apple, fine, grippy tannins that integrate into the whole with a pleasing sense of herbs and bitters, sage and lavender. Did not expect this complexity from carignan, and floral notes that evoke like Nebbiolo. Class. .

#handharvested #coolclimate #nebbiolo from the foothills of the Alps. Pure, gorgeous, Nebbi character. Cherry/cola aromas and crisp black fruit flavors. Not overly tannic either — 10 years ago
