Community Tasting Note

eboracum Likes this wine:

Monday, October 11, 2021 - I've bought most vintages of this Pur Schiste cuvée since 2011. Between 2013 and 2014 it dropped Villages off its appellation. This 2020 is drinking remarkable well in its youth with just a touch of rawness in its aromas and still shows deep colour, medium/full body and lots berry fruit laced with orange peel and lightly sprinkled with spice and pepper but I think less minerality and acidity and darker fruit, less raspberry, than in most earlier vintages. There is a well supported finish which may owe something to 14.5% alcohol but i detected no burn. I see this less on the shelves than formerly so it may cease to be a good value (c.€10) standby for my meals. Good wine though.
