leather and tar flavors grace the palate

and then again from bottle in January at the domaine in the Roussillon

This is Hubert de Boüard's top wine from his Lalande de Pomerol property

weightless elegance and an elusiveness that is only matched by the greatest Burgundies

This is quite firm and will need extended patience

Jean-Marc Pavelot, Savigny Beaune Guettes Rouge other_regions_italy leather and tar flavors grace(the vineyard is quite stony with very little top soil). Here the nose is similar but more reserved and offers just a bit more overt minerality that also characterizes the firm, precise and pure flavors that possess so much extract that it confers a textured character to the vibrant and exceptionally persistent finish. This is a focused effort that exhibits controlled power and a lovely sense of underlying tension. Worth a look as this is quite good.
