Nuits aux Perdrix Les 8 Ouvrees, Domaine des Perdrix 2012

Tasting Notes

**Note: from vines planted in 1922; 8 ouvrées is the approximate equivalent of .33 ha**
The expressive nose is slightly fresher with good spice and plenty of earth characters to the ripe but somewhat more restrained nose that is trimmed in generous but not dominant oak toast. There is excellent concentration to the denser and more powerful middle weight plus flavors that also brim with dry extract that both coats the palate and buffers the firm tannic spine on the velvety but robust and moderately austere finale. This is quite serious and will need at least 6 to 8 years of bottle age first and benefit from 10 to 12.
