93Vinous / IWC

There are moss-like, undergrowth scents, a touch of morels...the nose blossoms and finds its groove...The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin... Towards the finish there are subtle notes of tobacco and terracotta that lend another layer of complexity.

Pure fermented grape juice plus gypsy cream biscuits. A little dry on the end but with a completely different structure...
