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.
