Yannick Meckert Vin de France GRRRR

This has the most normal looking robe between a darker red and purple. On the palate, silky and tart with grippy and palate-coating tannins. The fruit is a darker red and slightly crunchy, like sour cranberry juice. Easy drinking, with a very lifted finish where the VA is quite prominent. Some complexity where with herbs and baking spices. Elegant, and could use some age to tame the tannins. There's also, unfortunately, a subtle mousy note.
