This is very classy and I very much like the innate sense of balance

Albert Bichot (Clos Frantin), Vosne Romanee Clos Frantin other_regions_italy this was first made in(the blend is mostly from Damaudes with a small proportion of Hautes Maizires). There is just enough reduction to shave the top notes from the red currant, lavender, violet and subtle spice inflected aromas. I like the seductive texture of the satiny flavors that contrast somewhat with the firm and mildly robust but not really rustic finish. 88 2024+
