Du Grappin Fleurie Poncié

Translucent bright red ruby in glass - lifted aromatics, with time incredible barnyard pong, saddle and dark berries. Incredibly savoury, yet with lightness (if spritz), drinking beautifully now - well resolved, silky supple textures, fresh black earth and hint ferrous. Layered, textural, velvety goodness, with a bitter streak. Brilliant and elegant, drinking well with yunnan food. Mushrooms and more cold-cut florals on the finish. This is quite enjoyable, if surprising! Was not expecting this much complexity...

From magnum; closed, mute fruit, lacks a fresh feel. Doesn’t convince.
