Arbin Vin de Savoie Mondeuse Noir

French alp shit

Still from the fucking alps and delicious

Aged mondeuse throwing a party, and some deposit

2012 tasting beautiful. Delicate, floral nose moving to black currants, kirsch.

Not so expressive, shutting down?

Way too fruity , not enough personality

I think 1st time I get the 2014. You know sometimes wines are just perfect, just like now, as I am cooking those chanterelles...

Initial nose was full of vibrant, youthful fruit to match purple appearance. Within 20 minutes, this wine comes into its own, opening up to purple and dark fruits, easy drinking tannins and acidity.
Value for money way to start/finish an afternoon with food.

Medium ruby. Floral, sickly sweet, Earl Grey. Medium plus acidity, medium plus sugar. Not a fan of this wine.

spicy, green pepper, light body, oak presence is a little too present, mild tannins, solid and enjoyable and affordable
