Tannins were pretty rounded by now, the red fruit was still there, sort of sour cherry. Not a bad wine for it’s price/quality ratio.
#101 Trousseau – 399 grapes left
The color was almost pomegranate. That alone I found interesting.
#100 Humagne Rouge – 400 grapes left
Light-medium bodied, definitely dry, not very tannic. The best I can give you guys is a similar vibe to a Cru Beajoulais.
#99 Inzolia – 401 grapes left
Micro bubbles in the glass upon serving it. It was such a whitish yellow color, very clear. On the nose it was delightful.
#98 Palomino – 402 grapes left
Fortified wines have this amazing overpowering nuttiness blended with caramel. But on palate…it was dry.
#97 Vidal Blanc – 403 grapes left
It had a nice nose of white fruit like pears but in palate the sweetness was too much for me.
#96 Vermentino – 404 grapes left
I use this phrase again even though it can be tricky to implement, but it was closer to sweet than dry.
#95 St. Laurent – 405 grapes left
I let it breath and was quite happy with the results. The red fruits where there, the oak disguised as vanilla was there and there was something savory.
#94 Souson – 406 grapes left
It spent a small amount of time in french oak, (like four months) but it has such a great expression both in aroma and on palate.
#93 Vernaccia – 407 grapes left
Maybe it was the heat but I went through this wine fast. It was enjoyable for me and as a varietal it was very difficult to differentiate from other whites from Italy.
