  3/2/2018 - Adrian Wood Likes this wine: 90 Points

  Woburn Sands Wine Society - many thanks to Rob for this and a great tasting. A very pronounced nose of violets, liquorice and some barnyard notes. Rosehips and forest floor on the very lively palate. Nicely rustic but light on its feet with real old fashioned charm and some complexity. Would have said Burgundy from the nose. I really like this and red of the night for me. A characterful wine.

  Un nez "bretté" donc beaucoup sur le cuir, la sueur de cheval, l'écurie.
  On perçoit quand même du fruit derrière ses effluves animaux. La bouche confirme le tout. C'est fort rustique, avec ce côté fermier qui revient. Les tanins sont un peu rudes. Le tout est assez carré, mais avec un certain charme bourru. Un vin old school certe, mais non sans intérêt. Pensez à des fromages de caractère ou une viande grasse pour l'accompagner.

  Big brett on the finish that overpowers to create a spicy black olive palate. If you don't mind a bretty wine and you like samur-champigny wines this is worth trying for $12-ish
