Total 'vin de l'anne' still fresh - white fleshy white cherry and earthy - loamy but easy aromatics - cherry on the palate with that incredible white mushroom back note. A quaffer - plain and simple.

Super savory, chewy tannins. Some bell pepper notes.
I would love to see how this ages.

Деликатный аромат кислой вишни, пороха, лёгкого клубничного мусса, малины с землёй. Воздушно. Лёгкое сочное тело, во вкусе море красных ягод (клюква, брусника), морская галька, клубника. Высокая кислотность, аккуратная солоноватость. Тонко. 17/20

Смородина, животина, чуть овощей. Во вкусе свежий, ягодный аки морс.

Violets, blue fruit, and a chunk of granite. A really very excellent Friday night whole bottle sipper.

Started off pretty vinegary, and then opened up into something very juicy and refreshing.
