1btl x 2021 Samuel Billaud - Montée de Tonnerre
The fine reductive notes (shellfish) weave their spell
expect blackberry and aniseed with touches of mint
but should become more expressive with time
fermented whole berry (1/3 stalks) in tiny stainless half ton fermenters

Drink from 2023 2035." 93 100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
