Pelletier "l en'goulevent" St Chinian 2005

Deep red.

Seems a bit oxidized on the nose - burnt wood, nut. No obvious sign that this bottle is off.

Very round and spicy in the mouth, with edgy acidity slowly moving into the front teeth. Much fresher than the nose - with pepper and sweet cherry flavors and a mineral constriction in the finish. There's a celery seed feature that underlies it all, start to finish. Wild stuff that seems like it is still sorting itself out.

Day 3- Definitely oxidized.
