Clearly an attempt to do a natural wine-style, quaffable Tannat (which seems an ambitious goal). Loads of poop and band-aid on the nose, but zingy bubble-gum like cherry fruit underneath. I love the light texture and electric acids in the mouth, but the flavors are a bit off. I will save some for tomorrow and update if it gets any better.

Very disappointing selection from garagiste. Acidity Ready for salad dressing.

Rubis clair et brillant
Nez réduit et végétal avec des notes de cerise
Bouche fraîche assez étriquée et pourtant mature
Impression curieuse peut être vin pas en place
A revoir
