Crisp, refreshing, steely even, herbal, light body, citrus, well-balanced, nice length. Acceptable but without the authority and weight to be up to Grosses Gewächs standards.
France, Languedoc Roussillon, Languedoc, Coteaux du Languedoc La Méjanelle
A very ambitious, modern and extracted wine, big and black, concentrated, rich, fiercely tannic but with the weight and flesh to back it up, amarena cherries, spice and tar, ripe acidity, very energetic and youthful for age, very structured, intense, flavoursome; very good length. Not my style at all but the quality is evident. The fruit may even outlive the tannins...
