(this has some young vines 1ers added to a blend of 90% Basses Maizières and 10% Les Vigneux). An exceptionally ripe well-layered nose is comprised by notes of mocha, Asian-style tea, plum, violet and a lovely array of spice elements. The succulent and caressing medium-bodied flavors possess fine mid-palate concentration that buffers the moderately firm tannins shaping the balanced and delicious finale. This is very good for its level though I would observe that it’s definitely a creature of its vintage. 89/2022+
