Vieilles Vignes Poulsard

Fun. Bright. Tart. A great way to start apres.

Quite delicious. Crunchy red fruit. Blood orange and pomegranate.

I would love to see what this wine would taste like with some SO2. Day 1 it was a bit funky and gamey and some poke through reduction but some high toned red fruits to complement it. Good with chicken. Day 2 it was a mess. "Dead hamster meat" was said. More interesting than delicious, and it seems like it had the potential to be delicious.

Reductive at first but soon this blows off to reveal bright tart cherries, cranberries, lots of white pepper and some dried sage. Dry and leafy on the finish. A light bodied and complex if not age-worthy wine.

Super light color. Very fragrant. Sour cherry, wet earth, spice, cracked stone. Very reminiscent of Pinot. A touch of VA, but not so much as to detract. Brambly and savory in the mouth, with more flavor intensity than the color suggests. Nice finish, with the fruit showing up mid-way through.

Wild, but furious within the lines.

Funky, red berries and effervescent

Positively vibrates. Let the brett die off-I like brett-but reveals a lovely core of red wild berries.

Bigger and crunchier than I remembered, but still cool for an absurdly warm night.

From Magnum - best Poulsard out there. Superb!
