Bright clear red color. Other notes here on this on CT have said that this wine is a little dark for a Poulsard, but it did not seem particularly dark to me as Poulsards go. A lot of spiciness on the nose. There is a bit of spritz on the palate, which goes away with a bit of swirling but was renewed as the glass is refilled over the course of 2 hours of so. Still it is easy to swirl away if desired. In the mouth the wine has some pretty red fruit and tones of earthiness. All in all, a very intriguing wine that kept me coming back to my glass again and again until it was (all too soon) gone.

No formal note, just wanted to remark that again this had a strong nose of sulfur for the first 45 minutes or so. I'm getting this on about 25% of the bottles I've had.
