Wish I had read the Viticole release notes before opening this 2018. A complete funk bottle, stemmy, anise, red currant, barnyard, rose hips. Right now the funkiness prevented some from even taking a sip... but I’ve encountered these notes before, generally in hyper-natural low-sulphur wines. I’d love to try this bottle later with some age, but I have my doubts on whether the green-bean acerbic Grenache will change for the better. Would love to be wrong on this wine, since this is close to the wine I’d love to make myself.

Nice acid and fruit, some barnyard, some white pepper. Tasty!
