It exhibits a dense ruby/plum/purple color

Last year from barrel this was restrained to the point of being almost mute but that is no longer the case as the nose is now overtly expressive with very ripe and again borderline exotic aromas of yellow orchard fruit along with the more classic scents of citrus

grainy tannins

But it should please those who appreciate classic claret over the next 10 or so years

Still refreshing and vibrant

Jean Claude Bachelet, Chassagne Montrachet Encegnieres other_regions It exhibits a dense ruby/plum/purpleA slightly riper nose blends notes of exotic fruit, dried peach and apricot as well as a hint of spiced tea. The round and exceptionally rich medium weight flavors also brim with sappy dry extract on the tangy, bright and lingering finale. This isnt a wine of finesse, but I like the bold delivery.
