spice-accented red and dark berry and cola flavors and an undercurrent of smoky minerality

All things considered

all wrapped in a classy and very pure finish of exceptional length

Alain Hudelot Noellat, Vosne Romanee Suchots Vintage:2017 spice-accented red and dark berryThis is spicier still and a bit riper as well if not quite so elegant on the variety of black berry fruit aromas that are trimmed in very subtle wood. The velvety, generous and extremely rich flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract on the, robust, muscular and bitter cherry pit inflected finale. As is usually the case, this is not as refined but its definitely more powerful.
