Maire-Kurdziel Saumur-Champigny Palsambleu

le poyeux vineyard, clay-limestone, 76 y/o vines Dark fruit, plum, cassis, rich almost mushroomy earth, some minerals, and a hint of greenness on the finish. More full bodied/richer than expecting. Seems to be more brooding, but has the acid of the vintage. Followed over ~2 weeks and developed positively, acid relaxed some and fruit picked up some more depth and complexity. Greenness faded and some cracked pepper notes came out. This feels like it could develop positively for a while.
