Very spicy minerality on the nose, deep, hint of honey and herbs; the palate has a more fruity profile (peach), with slate and refreshing 2008-acidity, but also shows a lot of spice; good length.
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux
Merlot and Cabernet Franc with a hint of Cabernet-Sauvignon. A real peasant of a wine. Old fashioned, farmyardy (but not bretty), strangely attractive.

Very sweet and aromatic but also wonderfully vibrant and refreshing, no botrytis, fresh apples, more like an Eiswein.
