I do like this better than the 2012. Gorgeous light Hawaiian punch brightness that has a certain kinship to my beloved Savoie/Jura. Must be drunk no warmer than cellar temp. Yum, just yum.

Transparent ruby red. This is an aromatic & elegant wine, a blend of Grolleau & Cab Franc. Lighter bodied with a delicacy at first. Floral aromatics are strong with some light red fruit & minerality. Moderate acidity & supple tannins provide balance. Gave this a short chill in the fridge before serving & a smoky layer emerges as it warms.
This is long in finesse, but isn't terribly long in complexity. It pairs well with risotto & shows the value of championing lesser known & used grape varieties.

Raspberry, wet stone, solid acidity. Held up well, my "drink lateset" date was set as 2015.
