extreme severity (very short pruning, ploughing, composting). The vine suffers and produces small harvests of magnificent complexity.
Tasted in the dark:
- Mental Landscape: a wine of warmth, light, density too. We are in front of an open, circular landscape, marked by a large field opening, a very particular photographic wide-angle side. The colours are more earthy, brown, shimmering.
- Mouth feel: surprising wine, cold; vertical, going straight down, but in thickness, width and strength, with a salivating dimension. It is rough, stony, as if one sucks the pebble.
- The port or energy: the information is long, intense, invasive, with a rough, dry, ribbed, very particular side. Some would say minerality, but stoniness seems more adapted to this wine of an astonishing depth of construction. Noble bitterness on a sharp finish suddenly in the empty glass: great wine
