If you want to experience something close to a little paradise I can only advise to drink this wine in Corsica overlooking the straight of Bonifacio, Sardegna and La Madelena. It was just great. Dark color, a definite mulberry taste, no acidity, no bitterness and despite the youth the tannins were totally melted and this was close to velvet. A great wine for a great occasion.

Frankly a spectacular surprise. Tasted it at la Casa Del Mar in Porto Vecchio (Corsica) and was truly impressed. This wine is 50% grenache blanc and 50% grenache gris and the grapevines are claimed to be more than 60 years old. The balance of acidity and minerality in one hand and of roundness and length in mouth on the other hand was close to perfect. A great discovery capable of competing with some of the best hermitage blanc.

Another oxydised wine from Leflaive. Getting somewhat tired of this.
