2022 Julien Sunier Fleurie

Deep dark red black tinged core with a dark red hue. Elevated sour cherry, rhubarb, fresh herb and earth scents evolve from the glass trailed by some leather and spice notes. Vibrant sour cherry and rhubarb flavours infused with green herbs grace the elegant palate. Earth, traces of smoky minerals and spice lie underneath. Crunch acidity with a sappy mid length finish.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 12.5%

Other Reviews…..
Dark cherry, liquorice, floral notes, a smoky damp earth character, spice. It’s firm with a slurry of stony tannin, kind of gamey and wild, but the dark fruit and texture here carries it along, as does the fine ‘mineral’ line of acidity. The finish is smoky, but also sweet in dark berry fruit. It opens up and builds weight and perfume with some time in glass (or decanter), revealing rose petals, sour cherry and raspberry. Yes, it’s a little rustic, but I really like it. Drink 2024-2028+

Wildflower, berry and rhubarb aromas to this, with some citrus and funky earth undertones. Silky, supple and juicy on the palate with a medium body. From organically grown grapes. Why wait? Delicious now.
