Tasting Notes

As was the case with the 2017 version, the wood influence is a bit more evident on the liqueur-like aromas of cassis, plum, sandalwood and Vosne-style spice. In the same fashion as the Bousselots, the broad-shouldered flavors are dense to the point of opulence as the sappy dry extract is again copious and does a good job buffering the very firm tannic spine shaping the beautifully persistent if youthfully austere finale. This too is going to require at least a few years of forbearance.
