Sol y lès

Oh, this was a nice surprise. Opened the bottle thinking it would just be something casual - and it turned out much better and tastier than last time. The rough edges are gone; now it's just pure, joyful glou-glou. Kissel, menthol, flowers, wet stones. Round, juicy, with a delicate tannin. There's a hint of bitter herbs on the finish, which adds a nice twist to the experience. Otherwise - just pure, effortless drinking pleasure.

Volatile acidity plays peek-a-boo with forest berries and menthol notes. Structurally, it's smooth like kisel, making it dangerously drinkable. Don't let its apparent simplicity fool you - there's complexity hiding beneath that approachable exterior. Smoke and wormwood notes add intrigue. Not necessarily a long-term cellar candidate, but who cares when it's this enjoyable now?
