Cloudy, moderately sedimented purple red. Menthol, violet, meat, barrel smoke and berry notes in nose. Also some Brett-like aroma. Spearmint and blueberry flavors. Slight seed bitterness and soapy mouthfeel on finish. Acid and skin tannin astringency on top of palate and back of tongue. Tasty, but flawed, depending how you feel about Brett

Languedoc/Rhone border wine. Syrah/Grenache blend and as lively and pretty as it gets down south.

Great value and balance. Dark, mineral-driven and a touch stanky, in a good way.
