Tasting note
Garrigue and blackberry drawn tight over slate, wild and lekker in equal measure. The room crowned it wine of the night; I stayed half a step cooler, admiring the character more than the polish.
Flight 6 'Faugères – Slate Minerality'. Predominantly Mourvèdre, biodynamic, no added sulfites. Best red and overall winner of the evening.
Tasted at «Off the Beaten Track», an LCV Suisse evening on 12 January 2024. The circle's average: 18.19/20 — my score: 17.5/20.
