Herbal, a bit too prominent oregano. A touch meaty, gamay-like quality. A little bit dirty.

Brightly fruited, crisp acid, sweet herbal notes and brisk tannin. I can’t speak highly enough of the wines coming from Corsica right now, except the price 😾 This is extremely quaffable #beaujolaisofthesea

Such a modern label with no information besides what is on the back... The wine is fantastic... Light, elegant and full of life! Stems (guessing a fair amount of whole cluster) lift the fragrance with floral rose petals, licorice , black cherry, raspberry and sweet resin...
