Try and try again until a bottle like this appears. There’s a fragility to this wine for sure, but I couldn’t ask for more when the smell of cherry liqueur filled the room as it was uncorked. In the glass, it unfurled with aromas of dried roses, truffles, and a touch of black tea. The colour was kind of like aged Nebbiolo, though leaning towards the ruby red hue. The palate was light-bodied with notes of cherry liqueur and an interesting mineral streak. The wine held on to this state for about an hour before it started losing a bit of life, with madeirised fruit notes appearing. Very pleasant experience.

Super smooth #Fleurie #wine. Hoping to catch some dusty tannins after opening. Currant with soft edges on the palate. Straightforward. Lasting flavor, just not a lot of bells and whistles. Opened 7/12/17

Good but I expected a bit more. Plum on the nose with hints of cinnamon and clove. Earthy tones, wet stone, and a hint of fruit.

Lite. Fruity. A little too sharp on the nose, and a little bit of chemical smell and bitter aftertaste. Not sure I’ll get it again.
