Domaine des Orchis Quintessence de Mondeuse

Strawberry on the nose. On the palate, blackberry and cranberry, with notes of black and purple fruit, moderate to strong tannins, and strong acidity on the medium to long finish. This was a good value at about $37.

Strongly weighted on the acidic side with redder fruits, a crunchy stemminess and a slight umami edge. Medium weight. Dynamic and changing with time between grapey elements to more spirits-like to dried floral edges. Good stuff.

Really delicious. Crunchy dark fruits. Great depth.
