Domaine Théo Blet, Le Corbin, Saumur, Loire, France, 2023

First impressions are of smoky embers, but this quickly bleeds into oozing Maraschino cherry and blueberry compote, with a bite of tangy redcurrant and rosehip for good measure. There is certainly a note of raspberry stem, but it doesn't detract from a silky roundness, it's still approachable and lovely.
