    Turenne Apollon (Red) 2023 - Highly RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Mid-depth red to opaque ruby. Lots of leather, spice and rich, solar blackberries and hedgerow fruit on the nose with hints of carbonic maceration. The palate bursts with fresh blue mineral vibrancy, juicy wild bramble fruit and vibrant acidity. Grounded by crunchy, gravelly tannins and a hint of chalky minerality, it offers a slightly disarming silkiness and a pretty, fruit-forward summer profile that still possesses plenty of guts, extraction and seriousness. Decanting is essential.
