Interesting orange-ish red color. Smells gamey, but with sour fruit notes. Lively, acidic mouthfeel. Medium body. Lingering sour aftertaste. Just a little too gamey and acidic to be too interesting. If I didn't try a truly excellent red Jura just yesterday, I would probably give a higher rating; but now I see how great they can be, if they are just a bit better balanced.

Medium-light body. Dark red fruit and earth, with some barnyard. Plenty of acid with a medium finish. Drink now.

Vive la Revolution! Vive la France! Vive la Jura! Introducing the wines of Domaine de la Tournelle (The Wine Bottega, North End, Boston MA): Transparent as rose-water, the lightness of color belying a gorgeously full nose of tart red and white fruits, all bramble, pepper and earth, with a gamey, woodsy, near Burgundian depth that's repeated, deepened, and emphasized on the palate. Prickly, tensile acidity carries the wine to a savory, mouth-watering finish. Wildness married to a refined, brooding fragility.
