5 ha parcel of 45+ year old vines

Count me as a fan

along with dusty cherry

not wine to taste

alcoholic and packed to the gills with incredibly sweet

Faurie, Hermitage Bessard Meal other_regions 5 ha parcel of 45+Inky ruby. Suave, mineral and spice accented aromas of blackberry, cherry and pungent flowers show superb clarity and energetic lift. Sappy and penetrating on the palate, displaying concentrated, sharply defined black blue fruit, violet pastille and spicecake flavors that become livelier as the wine opens up. Finishes extremely long and mineral, with intense, spicy thrust, a hint of cracked pepper and youthfully chewy tannins. (red capsule) Josh
