Sophomore slump, but still deeply moving. NOSE: Deathly reticent subterranean reserves of perfumed, raspberry and plum pulp. Seething, pungent herbs. A drop of mustard oil. MOUTH: flamboyantly savory, with authority, while seeping with juices extracted from silk pages pressed, in the distant past, with berries and lilacs. The experience forces its own slow pace. It’s like a curtain coming down on summer. The whoosh is audible. The sudden eclipse of bright light cools my eyes. I begin to taste prunes from the roots. TIME: What was that savory performance? The question dances into the void left by the curtain. Groomed thatch, bramble, and root. As it drinks, as it accumulates narrative momentum, these structural elements are surrounded by shameless plant sex. (The word “fruit” will not do.) Drinking it from the Ball Jar seems to concentrate its husky, rugged frame. It’s like driving a 1978 Chevy pickup fully loaded with illegal morels and porcini. The finish is richly sour. The acidity is like a cured spirit, a marine oil. Firm. 95+ points. I'll wait as long as I can to drink the next bottle. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e10\/10\/2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"HILLS COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51910166511896,"sku":"HZ10662-store","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/5302\/9400\/files\/tarlant_coteaux_champenois_red_2016_a.jpg?v=1776040766","url":"https:\/\/chapfour.com\/ja\/products\/tarlant-coteaux-champenois-longue-attente-red-2016-hz","provider":"CHAPTER 4 | FINE + RARE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
