Clos Saint Denis, Heresztyn-Mazzini 2017

Tasting Notes

Generous wood influence stops just short of dominating the attractively spicy nose of poached plum, cassis, dark cherry and an array of floral elements. The silky and caressing medium-bodied flavors possess a highly seductive, and classy, texture before concluding in a sappy, balanced and youthfully austere finish. This is actually quite firmly structured yet the abundant sap masks the tannic spine for today though it will become more prominent once the baby fat begins to melt away. Note that this is a bit woody today but there is sufficient stuffing to eventually integrate it.
