Arnaud Lambert Saumur Clos Tue-Loup 2018

Medicinal aromas of iodine and barnyard funk mask any fruit expression beneath. The palate clamps down hard with grippy tannins and sharp acidity that leaves the mouth parched. This feels unbalanced and difficult now, though time might soften the edges. Give it 2-3 years to see if integration occurs.
