Domaine Alary CDR La Jean de Verde
At Domaine Alary, geneology seems to run in the family. They've traced the Alarys back to the mid 17th century, and have a couple of paintings showing the closest branches. These folks have been doing wine off and on since way back when, and seem to have become pretty good at it.
La Jean de Verde starts out very round, but then as the roundness fades, it finishes with a long tannic crescendo, where you get the idea that it'll be around for a while before all the tannins have settled back into the background.
