The Good: the nose
The not good: slightly fizzy texture (low sulfur) and an extra and very green palate.
Not a bad nose, attractive spice, Pinot red fruits, olive and savory meaty notes (no, this is not a Syrah). On the palate though, the greenness of the stems is readily apparent. I love whole cluster wines. Most Beaujolais Crus, Jamet, Allemand, DRC, Dujac, etc. However the palate of this falls very short as the green notes overwhelm everything else and sap most pleasure out of the wine. Lots of potential but misses the intended mark to me to be one of the world's great whole cluster wines/domaines.
