France, Languedoc Roussillon, Roussillon, Côtes Catalanes
A very welcome 12.5% abv. Some funk on the nose - never quite blows off, not quite meaty but brett or brett like. Slightly confected fruit, parma violets? Gentle tannins, this is more than the sum of its parts, but not a *lot* more.

Interesting contrast to the 14 Le Soula which preceded it. Clean as a whistle, just a hint of grip and more of the ribena-adjacent fruit I'd perceived last time. This is a solid wine and amazing QPR but doesn't have quite the addictive qualities of the preceding vintage.

Of the two wines I much preferred this.
