Forgot about this guy in storage. So happy it was CLEAN and fresh as a daisy. Brambly berry fruit, peppercorn, violets, bay and other classic herbs, some olive and licorice wrapped up in a neat and vibrant package. Something slightly meaty and savory hiding out, but this is quite light on its feet and quaffable with its crisp fruit and chalky tannin.

Cleaner, fresher and denser than what I remember from 2014 chez Souhaut

Always a favorite. Fun to surprise the traditionalists at the table with Souhaut’s lighter style and thankful that despite it’s youth, it’s quite drinkable now!

Always delicious. Crushable. Love the whole cluster, carbonic pop.

Same notes as last vintage, but the brett is more dominant in this one. Outlier St. Joseph.

Oct 1st, 2017Love the acid and style of this wine. Didn't quite stand up against the richer wines in this flight, but again it's is own animal. Lots of carbonic character. Day two it lost that primary effervescence and showed much more weight on the palate. Definitely the outlier in the group. Would like to see this with at least 5 years of age.
