  11/7/2022 - Green Isaac Likes this wine: 90 Points

  A slightly duller aroma vs Clos de Ursules -20, with a red-fruited mix of ripe cranberries and strawberry with a very light smokiness (we can also call it toast) in the background.
  
  Here, too, a focus on acidity (which feels very appley and young in its sharpness), but here the fruit is more visible already from
  start. As a mixture of red currants and stems (a bit like a redfruited cabernet franc even) and lingonberries.
  
  The tannins are a little more aggressive and with a sharper edge to themmore. Maybe it's harvested a little in haste in the face of impending rain or that the producer wants to show this particular vineyard's expression?
  
  Compared to Clos de Ursule, this is a wine with more character early on, but also more extremes (hard acidity, tannins that feel a little young and edgy) that needs to be phased together.
  
  Recommended to be saved 5 years or more for these
  reasons.
