First time tasting a Rougeard this old. Super lean, green bean at first. Opened surely, but very slowly. Tannins are extreme and fruit subtle - an ethereal quality to this wine unlike anything I'm used to. Graphite, mineral, tension. Honored to try it! #thankyou #thelittlenell

Really unique wine....lots of juice, fruit at the front end, dips in the middle and then roars back for a large finish......I haven't had many of these before, but really cool
