2018 Anders Frederik Steen & Anne Bruun Blauert Vin de France Jumping on a cable car to where the dreams go France, Vin de France
94 points
Very impressive wine with a lot of complexity and depth while staying funky in the right way. Lots of oxidation, glue, VA and even cheese!
There is a slight sweetness to it but also a huge acidity and some bitterness in the aftertaste. Chicken stock and fig-like fruit! But, everything works great together and despite sounding weird, it is a very pleasurable wine! Loved it!

Has a very impressive intensity but also pure and clean flavors. Just a crazy wine that I adored!!
There is some peach and lemon/lime flavors but also walnuts and a great depth. Insanely complex wine! Absolutely stunning!
