La Taille aux Loups Venise Vin de France 2017

Taut and unforgiving at this stage, with razor-sharp acidity cutting through citrus peel and green stone fruit. The saline backbone reveals 2017's mineral intensity, though the wine feels wound tight and aggressive. Needs two years to settle into something more graceful.
