Verite, Joie other_regionsVrit's 2015 La Joie is deep, powerful and structured, with tons of Cabernet savoriness running through a core of intense, dark fruit. Grilled herbs, leather, menthol and licorice all develop in the glass. Sumptuous and yet also structured, La Joie is another winner from Vrit. Antonio Galloni

The grapes fermented in open wooden vats and carried out the malolactic fermentation in oak barrels

dark fruit

spice and a very linear mineral tone at the back

the 2012 Siepi is a beautiful wine that bursts open with enormous fruit intensity and purity

licorice and black cherry notes

a fine bead of acidity and good weight

An outstanding wine

mainly thanks to the larger contribution of Sémillon at one-third of the blend

warm pastry and crisp green orchard fruit

This feels very lithe with an almost perfect bead of acidity

Despite the fact that the underlying tannins are finer than usual

which displays pronounced undergrowth and sage-like aromas but is not quite endowed with the energy of the excellent Saint-Juliens
