Burgundy產區

A discreet but not invisible application of oak surrounds an ultra-spicy, ripe and agreeably fresh nose that is comprised by a beautiful array of black berries, plum and exotic Asian tea scents. In much the same fashion as the 2013 version the big-bodied flavors are robust, muscular and mineral-inflected before terminating a palate coating finish that goes on and on. I should point out that while this is not especially complex at present my score envisions that much more will develop. I say this not only because there is excellent underlying material but also because this wine has a fabulous track record for developing beautifully over time.

Here the restrained nose is more complex still with its spicy and earthy array of red and dark currant scents. The medium-bodied flavors are also richer and with better mid-palate concentration while delivering very fine persistence on the well-balanced finish. This is lovely and should reward 4 to 6 years of cellaring. This too would make a savvy choice for an upper level house red.
