Aromatically quite closed and discreet at this stage, but really vibrant and zesty on the palate. Great grip and intensity, finishing tight and saline. The 50% whole bunch makes itself known, the stems add complexity and savoury bite. Notes of pink peppercorns and raspberries, with high acidity and only moderate alcohol. To compare it to the northern Rhône, this is similar to some of the better wines from the high Cornas plateau. A really elegant, serious, grown-up wine from a winemaker that clearly knows exactly what they want. Barrel selection.
