Wednesday, July 27, 2022 - Cae's Surprise Birthday (Chancery): A real charmer - this was Provence in a glass. It had a lovely nose, with ripe, sunny aromas lf blackberries, cassis and plums laced with little rustic notes of earth, meat and olive tapenade, and then a lovely kiss of lavender and garrigue. There was maybe a little waft of glycerol at the edges at first, but that blew off with time. The palate was very enjoyable. There was a nice sappy fruitiness to it, with plums and cassis aplenty, but the plump, juicy weight of the fruit was nicely balanced with well-integrated acidity and a velvety structure that lent the wine a nice sense of balance and flow. Nice finish too, with little twists of garrigue, bramble and a kiss lf soemthing minty right at the edges of back palate. This will be a long lived one. While drinking quite nicely now, there was still a remnant of a raw, youthful edginess to it that should continue to resolve and develop over the next few years.
