Bottled Jan 2019. Thanks, Sam!
A clear light red with a light pink head with good retention, this looks pretty. The nose is musty and oaky, with tannins, wood and a blend of dry earth and mushrooms. A moderate vinous note, mildly floral and subtly delicious, is present. Lightly peppery, faintly sulfury, mild jammy fruit notes are present. Fruit expressions of grape, grapefruit peel, a little peach are present. As it warms, the nose grows in depth and complexity, with a really well integrated character.
The palate opens sour with a blend of the wet wood and dried mushrooms that are present in the nose, along with notes of preserved lemon, moderate lactic acidity and minimal acetic notes. The mid palate has some fruit character with the grapes shining, but not as much as on the nose. A little bit of grapefruit, some semi ripe peaches, grapes, all wrapped in a tannic blanket. Drying on the finish with preserved lemon bitterness and sourness present. Medium light in body with alcohol well hidden. Carbonation is high, bringing out the grape notes more.
I am by no means an expert ( or even knowledgeable) on wine, but based on reading the Wikipedia page on this grape varietal, it seems like care has been taken to focus on the more Rose like expressions of the grape, rather than the incredibly tannic monster it can be.
