10 months in oak Crunchy, citrus, extracted, some bread notes, shows intensity. Nice mouthfeel, med body, tense, med to high acidity, mineral, easy but tasty, med finish. There is a touch of bitterness at the end
12 months in oak Brighter than "La Fremine" 2021 tasted before, more profound, high intensity, citrus, tense, ripe stone fruit too, some wool-y notes offering a certain "warmth" Palate shows high intensity, mineral, citrus, lime, grapefruit, quince notes, med to full body, a touch bitter again, it shows broad shoulders, typical Savennieres, youthful still, med finish
The wine shows ripe to overripe red fruit, warmth, bread, toast, some sesame notes, sweet spices, cinnamon, nutmeg, raspberry notes. Palate shows vibrant acidity, toast, med body, red fruit, currant, cherry notes, med finish
Italy, Veneto, Valpolicella, Amarone della Valpolicella
Highly extrovert, ripe to overripe red fruit, toast, sweet notes, thin oak frame, a few bitter herbal notes, cherry candy notes. Palate follows the same pattern, red fruit, dry tannins, med body, roasted notes, raspberry, med finish. Feels leaner than expected for an Amarone
