  Still young. Nose with cooking spices and vanilla cake batter, but flavors are still green. I'd like to try this again in a few years.

  7/26/2013 - Beerzebub Likes this wine:

  Decanted and started drinking immediately. Striking color, looks good in the glass. Quite aromatic, along the lines of moist earth, plum, clove, and a hint of VA. Similar on the palate - earth, tart cherries and plums, clove/allspice, a good amount of acidity, and some fairly grippy tannins. Gravelly earth and tart fruit skin in a slightly short but quite pleasant finish. A bit unruly in its youth, but already quite tasty. Air does it good - with 2 hours it gets smoother, richer, and more cohesive, while staying nicely tart and taut. At 3 hours, it's even more expressive and aromatic. Delicious and characterful wine, and a great value (in keeping with an apparent tradition of the mondeuse grape).

  Aromas of primarily red with some dark fruit with some floral and spice elements, along with notes of herbs and minerality. Closer to medium bodied; crisp with good juicy acidity with high toned red fruits on the palate. I really respect what Peillot is doing in the Savoie and just can't say enough to support his wines.
