Domaine du Clos des Fees, Un Faune avec son fifre sous les oliviers sauvages, Cotes Catalanes

Very strong again

Like this more and more

Balance and freshness is great.

Great Semillion expression. Memories of Laville HB in vinifying we were told.

Blind tasting. Decanted 1/2 hour. Dull nose. Burnt rubber & leather - natural style. Spikey acidity, somewhat volatile. Rootbeer. Dark cherries, ripe. I was not overwhelmed but then tasted the next night and this had come around completely and was delicious: rich and round, very new world style, dark cherries, oak but retaining freshness. Still young or needs a very long decant. The best Cab Franc I have tried outside of the Loire - more Napa Valley style. Thanks GG!
