Derenoncourt, Domaine L'A Rouge other_regions_italy scorched earth and graphite add

scorched earth and graphite add to a sense of gravitas as this dark

pure and airy nose is naturally spicy with its essence of acacia blossom

delivering truly dry wines with quite high acidity

Corvinone and Rondinella (with a smaller percentage of other varieties mixed in for good measure)

Young wines never have it easy in vertical tastings

Derenoncourt, Domaine L'A Rouge other_regions_italy scorched earth and graphite add(Consultant Stphane Derononcourt's home farm.) Magnum. Tasted blind. Very dark with soft tannins and lots of easy to appreciate sweet fruit. Slightly inky finish but every effort has been made to make an approachable young wine that is recognisably bordeaux. Well done for the money.
