Daniel Sage, Prosperite de l’Entreprise, VdF

The wine opened with a rather funky edge, but this quickly blew off within minutes to a level of acceptable, revealing a charming bouquet of wild strawberries, red bell pepper, star anise, pyrazine, and a touch of licorice. Its concentration is impressive, especially in comparison to the producer’s other wines, with a hint of volatile acidity that adds lift and integrates seamlessly into the overall profile. Seductive and elegant from the start. On the palate, it’s a celebration of vibrant …

Somewhat consistent with my previous note in the sense that the nose is gorgeous with lots of fruit and floral character. The palate was nice as well, although there was maybe the slightest hint of mousiness towards the finish. I do think it improved with air, but probably not as great of a showing as last time.

Nice wine. Definitely funky and a little sweaty, but there was purity to the fruit and a seamlessness to the wine. Definitely natty, but quite enjoyable. Very interesting.

Didn't take a formal note, but this was gorgeous! Really pretty and elegant on the nose with bright fruit, lovely purity, and forest notes that add complexity. This should age quite well. Awesome wine!

Very slight natural wine aromatics. Pure, red fruit, quite delicious!
