Terra Ventoux Les 5 Terroirs (Red)

  • 2022

    Semi-opaque with slightly garnet edges. Candied incense. Pretty red fruit, raspberry jam, rosewater. The fruit is a touch too sweet and cloying, removing the lovely mouthwatering freshness of the acidity and making it a little too commercial. Crunchy, with invisible, lightly sandy tannins. Elegant, delicate, remarkably refreshing despite the ripeness and intensity. Slightly saline with lots of red berries and a touch of beeswax. Beautifully complex despite that freshness and elegance. Lasting finish.
