Top Notes For
Nolen L

2013 vintage. Very lean and delicate. Hints of herbaceousness and tart fruit, though mainly chalky, saline, mineral notes. Refreshing. Enjoyable.

Joyeux Noël. Perfect with the scents and spices of the season. A rosé with and for stuffing.

Harsh herbal bite with too much funk. I hope I got a bad bottle. A lot of people gave it good reviews.
