The crispness of apples with cherries, grass, and a dank cocoa note. More dried cherries, musty walnuts, moss, and vanilla on the front end. Powerful tannins come in with pepper, red fruits, and an echo of cocoa and cinnamon. This is a wine with a story: I picked this up from Georges dos Santos of Anti Wines in Lyon, France. Georges is an interesting character, a real personality that styles himself as “the flying sommelier” which, as far as I can tell, is pretty accurate. According to Georges, after a few glasses, he had to plead and cajole his way into getting his hands on just a few cases of this wine. Apparently, the Corsicans prefer to consume it all at home, the world be damned! If you can place hands on a bottle, I suggest you do so.
