Good stuff from fav producer Le Grappin. Most of the time I prefer their white wines, this is the only red that I regularly buy. Not that the reds are bad, just the whites are really good. However, this bottle really delivered. Good fruit and structure, some light spice, good lenght. Glad to have more in the cellar.

Pale; strawberry & raspberry fruit, a gamey/farmyard edge; gritty tannins, refreshing acidity, some weight & rusticity ; plenty on long finish. Yet to peak Better with food.

Before dinner; best bottle so far. Good acidity and grip. Fresh with earthy and dark/red Wild berries. 92++
Dinner: elk minne steak with juniper berry, lingonberry, sause with sherry, cream, wild fond, mess butter, soya. Not a great match, lager beer or a mature pomerol could been better. The food was a bit to rustic and some sweetness, but the wine is still great.

Opened a bottle tested by Coravin earlier.
Wild raspberry, sand/earth, longer and more depth now. Drink in a year or two, think it peaks now.

A sipp by Coravin vin. A nice mouthfeel and balance, but to short to store higher. But it is a good nice approachable one.
