Nice fresh tilled soil and mushroom with slightly dessicated black, blue fruits on the nose (and a touch of mint??)
Slightly gritty, certainly unfiltered, rustic, interesting textures, lacks depth, short, the after swallow let's you down.

Slightly fruitier than the Chappallet. Vegetative but stewed fruit, oak, medium-light tannins.
