Dégustation Côte Blonde (La Caverne de Collin): Un nez discret mais charmeur, un peu de violettes, du fruit plus noir que le précédent (2010). Belle texture similaire au premier. Bouche un peu unidimensionnelle, avec une jolie finale florale, toute en finesse. Manque un peu de complexité, mais c’est charmeur. 91 pts

This is all salty bacon and country ham; there is some smoke on the kiss but I’m not tasting it. There are some crushed herbs, dried crushed red fruits and garrigue in the background, but salted country ham all over. Very light on its feet otherwise.

Medium bodied, bright, forward, peppery, spice, fresh and almost crisp, on the red fruit side of the style range. This is not a wine to lay down, it's going to be best in its youth.
