July 7, 2015 - The wine is clear with a pale intensity, ruby color.
The nose is developing with a medium(+) aroma intensity. Aromas of fresh red berries, tarragon, lavender, flowerpot, wet soil, crushed granite, raw meat and a hint of stable. Lots of non-fruit action on this nose.
The wine is dry with a medium(+) acidity, medium body and medium(-) tannins. The flavors intensity is medium(+) with flavors of blackberries, cranberries, lavender, soil, stable floor, raw meat and wet stones. The finish is medium(+).
I spontaneously bought two bottles of this wine two years ago and haven't tasted it until now. I must say that I'm truly happy with my purchase! Maybe this wine lacks a bit of the depth and structure you could expect from a Fleurie but this has a really intriguing aroma profile. It's slender, juicy and easy drinking with complexity enough to stay interesting. I'm looking forward to see how next bottle turns out with some further aging.1,861 views
