supple fine-grained tannins frame the dark berry and black plum flavors

the owner of fabulous Domaine d’Esperance located in the Sables Fauves - a sandy part of the Bas Armagnac sub-appellation of the Armagnac region – I embarked on a project to get unaged Armagnac the recognition it deserves

which needs to have at least 51% corn in its mashbill and aged in new charred oak barrels

Penley Estate Francis Cabernet Franc 2022 750ml june26-b1s5 Ricarda Amor Blanco 750ml —This wine shows oodles of bright cherry, clove and star anise, with a soft floral note and a hint of reduction. The palate is medium in weight, but with a feathery quality to the fruit, raspy tannins and a powdery texture. At the close, it shows a lovely, long finish that tastes like Chinese Five spice. Layered, likable and full of personality, this makes for fun, youthful drinking now.
