red roses and lavender over a core of plum preserves

I guess you could say that this is a Lafleur that has “grown up” in recent years but it has something up its sleeve for those prepared to wait another decade

Taupenot Merme, Gevrey Chambertin Size:12x750ml red roses and lavender over(from Craite Paille, Les Seuvres, Belair and La Justice). This is also relatively elegant and cool with its combination of wild red cherry, sauvage and discreet spice whiffs. The precise and almost lilting middleweight flavors possess a lovely sense of tension while displaying fine length on the youthfully austere and balanced finale. This could arguably use a bit better depth, but more should develop with a few years of keeping.
