July 10, 2023 - Wonderful dark berry, mineral, floral, and earthy aromas with layers of complexity on the silky palate and long finish. Drinking beautifully!

They are however very polarizing wines, people tend to either love them or hate them. I have not had anything like it in the US. You would have to go to the northern Rhone region to get anything like it.
I hope you enjoy it! -
