This is an extraordinary wine. Perfect varietal character, freshness, exceptional depth at 13,5% alcohol. You can see why it’s called Breton, it’s definitely not a ripe, warm climate rendition of the grape. Paprika on the nose, but it doesn’t feel unripe. Loaded with black fruits, graphite, and spices. Amazing, top shelf concentration on the palate, yet it feels light on it’s feet. What a balance! Integrated acidity and tannins, it’s perfectly proportioned, drinks well already. I must admit I scored this very high initially, but a burnt rubber character started to emerge with time, which distracted me a little bit.
