Quiet on nose. Black olive, herbal sage notes and pomegranate. Little bit brooding but like the interplay of herbs and dark cherry. Med weight with some structure in background.

Classic Corsican - in the best way. Soft aromas. Dark berries, a little bit of cedar, minerals. There’s a little bit of texture too, a little bit of tannin, and all those same aromas flow right on through to the mouth. Hardly showy, hardly a complaint.

Rich, concentrated, silky integrated tannins. All in cool restraint. Dark berries, damp moss, and minerals.

The native grapes of Corsica in a cool, herby, and restrained complex mix of delicate dark berries and black pepper. Smokey perfumes, cedar, and herbs with a foundation of minerals. Concentrated but I wouldn’t say rich or dense like the KLWM site describes. If anything, expressive.

Some tannins, and alcohol. Raspberry and strawberry. Good with pizza. Didn’t hold up as well after a couple of hours, but still worth drinking.
