Dynamic wine showing a confident and seductive tension of opposites. Garrigue, leather and barnyard dust plays very well with lavender, red berries and black pepper. Displaying noticeable VA and traces of brett, but Old World charm wins the day as this wine really comes together after about 3 hours to reveal silky tannins and supple structure. Very complex and terroir focused bottling that can be enjoyed for less than the price of a typical Côtes du Rhône, making it a true bargain.
