La Folle Noire d'Ambat Fronton Negrette 2020

After the Sicilian off dry white which I drank only a glass of in disappointment, I decided to open something I knew would make me happy. We are watching Dunkirk while drinking this wine and the contrast between the on-screen drama and the funky liveliness in the glass is stunning!
As usual the nose is a bit funky at fist and takes a good 20 to 30 minutes to set into place. Then it's violet, blueberry, clay, that iron thing too, which I always smell in this cuvée, no matter the vintage. The palate is big, bright and fruity. There are blueberry notes all along, some cherry too. Some width, a nice and soft mouthfeel, some tannins in the rear, and a really nice anf long finish with fruits, some pepper, and a nice tannic layer. There is a subtle savory note too, almost meaty, that makes it more complex than you would have bet at first. Of course this is, as always, a very biased review, but I mean, what's not to like there?

Ninette Negrette Syrah 2018

Peach and small red berries on the nose. Very fruity and fresh nose. The palate is very well balanced with some acid backbone with a sweet touch on the sides and peach and red small berries playing along. Quick fresh finish. Very thirst quenching, refreshing and easy to sip on. First vintage they call Ninette as a tribute to their grand mother who first planted grapes in 1914 in the fronton area. Before it was called rosé de saignée. — 5 years ago

Les Frontons Flingueurs Negrette

这个属于是非常神奇的自然酒了,会有些不属于其本身的二三类香气,如皮革,甚至会有些老酒特有的荃类香气。在后面还会有些青椒味,浆果味也越发明显,最后也会有花生和芝麻的味道,是会随着时间变化而变化的酒,很棒👍🏻! — 5 months ago

An Acker tag on and a surprise of how nice it’s drinking. Not yet over the hill. Not complex but nice balance of that aged forest floor notes and Mushrooms with very ripe dark fruits reduced down in cooking. Wine searcher says 50% Négrette, 35% Cabernet Franc et Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Syrah. Bottle confirms Négrette and Cabernet, says 32,327 bottles and this one numbered 13,343. — 4 years ago
