Purchased at a wine shop in Paris back in early March. Opened and drank slightly chilled on a scorching evening with cedar plank grilled Halibut. Cloudy, even murky red ruby.

The palate is sharp, tart, and tight, bringing bright raspberries, rhubarb, more cranberries, cinnamon, and dried herbs into a puckery, limestone-laden, rustic finish. Beautiful earthy wine drinking well now but could go to 2020.
