Lilacs, fennel, and black pepper on the nose. Every so slightly corked, (or brett?), not enough to be off-putting. Wonderful grip and sweet presence on the palate with a crisp frame of acid and firm tannic foundation, aromatic back notes. Fresh, lively, delicious with skewered shrimp, Mediterranean style. 50 + 15 + 16 + 8 = 89.

Bu la veille de Noël. Nez un peu fermier, bretté selon certains! Il y a aussi du tabac et de la fumée. En bouche, assez austère. Belle acidité et assez corsé. Des mures, de la terre et du mocha avec des tannins asséchants. Assez long et un brin chaud.
