Domaine Le Roc
La Folle Noire d'Ambat Fronton Negrette
Violet, cherry, a bit of an earthy thing too. As usual this is nice and inviting. The palate is great with a nice cherry note all along and a spicy note, a great acid drive, a nice width with a vivid, dynamic mouthfeel. There is a bit of a tannic feeling, very subtle, in midpalate which disrupts nicely the overall drive of the palate and helps creating a very nice, a little complex, finish with cherry, this spicy note and violet too. This is again great! (but I'm not impartial here π)

Dec 23rd, 2020There is an irony thing in the nose along with violet and rose petals and cherry and a bit of black pepper. This is the nose I fell in love with 10 years ago. The palate is very well designed with a strong acid backbone, a very nice round and radiating fruit, a bit of a sweet touch, some nice oily, scratchy tannins which kick things up for a rather long finish with that fruit, pepper and a long lasting floral aftertaste. So great. This is 7 Euro when you buy it from the winery directly and it's 15 kilometers from where I am right now π
