Fervent and powerful, this savory wine is packed with game, bouillon, wild blackberry and garrigue. With air, this youthful and saturated wine blossoms to show floral notes, especially dried lavender. Full-bodied with muscular concentration and noticeable, crunchy tannic grip, this is a tour de force. Showing well now, this has time to develop in bottle, and its fiercely youthful character should benefit from that, too. The pencil s notes on the respectably moderate finish will surely enthrall minerality craving enthusiasts. Drink now–2026.
