Terrasses du Larzac

Medium

Cork

Dark plum and black cherry aromas, with an iodine, mineral, slate/stone background note. It's incredibly floral as well, showing iris and violet, with lavender and wild thyme bursting from the glass. Powerful and concentrated, but not extracted. Intensely spicy, piquant, with searing acidity. The alcohol is perhaps a little high. Chalky, grippy tannins but they are ripe and make for a textural mouthful. Iodine, wet stones and a ferrous tang on the finish. Keep for a few years, this shows great promise and ageing potential.
