Les Ursules

Strangely - and hilariously - this reads more like Chardonnay. Think cheese-flavoured crisps, iodine from walnut skins, and that woody-bitter edge you get from nut shells. There's oxidised apple too, and a flash of tarragon, which catches you off guard. But it's so, so young - practically vibrating. High acidity, laser-sharp, electric. That kind of charged energy you feel more than taste. On the palate, it's all about structure: taut, nervy, full of tension. Oxidised apple again, some dried banana. A wine with plenty to say, but it's still figuring out the language (or is it me?).
