Sunday, December 17, 2023 - This note is for the Vieilles Vignes black-and-white label Kermit Lynch import to the U.S. (not the La Gloriette; I could not find a separate CT wine listing for the black-and-white label.)
Red-fruited, slightly tart, dry and a bit austere. Slightly feral on the nose but not the palate. Good acidity, goes well with food. Fully ready, tannins are smooth.

Kermit may select separate barrels for this cuvee in the US, so it might not be the same exact wine as the Gloriette in France?
