Tuesday, 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.
