Honey, chamomile, and lemon curd in the Ardeche, beautiful and soft flowers, hay, round petillant natural wine.
Walnut skins, dry almond, cinnamon stick, anise, and one of the best and most complex things I have ever tasted. Reminds of the best amontillado sherry, with slightly rounder edges, soft but not sweet. Heavenly pairing with small perfectly round goat cheese crottin, the world is in order again.
Once in a lifetime wine, end of a chapter for me, thanks Levi Dalton for the recommend, please read more below from Levi on the subject:
