  May 17, 2017 - Wow. A complicated yet brilliantly unique wine. Exudes an intoxicating bouquet of crushed stones, pine needles, violets, wild berries, and peat. There is similar savoriness on the palate with still firm tannins and soft mineral driven acidity. Reminds me of an old wine cellar, the stone and earth surfaces, the rustic wood spice, the essence of spilled wine. My first experience with Pineau d'Aunis and definitely not my last. Like an eccentric Pinot Noir with the fruit and mineral intensities inverted. Avoid this if you need fruit as a forefront in your wines. Seek this out if you need your senses challenged by wine. Very special and I am grateful I have two more bottles, the next one is slated for ten years on.
