Pale ruby colored, with medium viscosity (14.2% ABV). The nose has medium intensity aromas of red raspberry, garrigue, strawberry, funky mushroom, violet, and rhubarb. The palate is dry with medium acidity, a medium (+) body, and medium tannins. There’s a noticeable astringency on the mid palate. Medium intensity flavors of red raspberry, rhubarb, pomegranate, strawberry, earthy dried herbs and some barnyard funk. The finish is a lively, tart affair that goes on medium length. An interesting wine that I am enjoying, as I did the 2019 vintage. It will pair well with lighter meat dishes, tapas, or even a roast hen. Drink till 2028. 89 points for this $15 bottling makes it a 4 star effort. Salut….
