2018 Domaine du Pélican Arbois Poulsard

 First experience with a 100% Poulsard from Jura. Very nice bottle, but needs another handful of years in the cellar to round out. Initial pop and pour revealed a high strung, youthful exuberance dominated by bright red fruit, leaning more toward strawberry, complemented by a melange of tart acidity and spices on the back end. Took the rest of the bottle to dinner a few days later, and now we see where this wine is headed... calmed down a lot and could be inserted as a ringer into a blind new world pinot noir tasting. ..paired at dinner with fried pickles and spicy wood fired seared shrimp. Delicious 👍🍷
