spicy and gamy ripe wild red berry fruit aromas

There is a wonderfully refined mouth feel to the seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that are finer but less obviously mineral-inflected than the Sentiers on the impressively persistent finish

it is built on its minerality with very fine intensity to the medium weight plus flavors that also culminate in an impressively long but still quite compact finish

this is a vintage that falls closer to 2012 than 2013 in profile

honeyed gold fruits and smoked earth

Serafin Pere et Fils, Morey Saint Denis Millandes other_regions_italy spicy and gamy ripe wildThis is every bit as elegant as the Fontenys but quite firm like the VV, offering a pretty mix of red berry fruits and hints of game, anise and warm iron infused earth notes trimmed in a touch of wood that introduce moderately structured middle weight flavors that are restrained yet sweet, all wrapped in a precise, punchy and mineral based finish. I like this but be aware that there is rigor here so it will require some patience. 90 2012+
