Tasting Notes

· @Garage
4.5

This bottle was tasted blind after a lengthy wine-tasting event. I was given two hints - it's available in Garage (Sabotage), and I haven't tasted it yet. Initially (???), my drunken mind suggested Clandestin. But after Vova asked me about the grape, I was like - shit, it's definitely Pinot Meunier. The wine is expressive, complex, aged (hehe, what an irony) and as delicious as promises of Heaven. It must be Bedel, and Jouvence is (probably) the only bottle I haven't tasted so far. Bingo!

What can I say? It's an incredible wine. Charming notes of mushrooms and wet cellar interleaved with honey, brioche, nuts, Jerez and honeysuckle. Intense, saline, perfectly balanced and prolonged. What else do you need? Authentic elixir of youth (c).
