(91-93)/2024+

this sexy Rioja has a fine track record for aging

The palate is very well balanced and surprisingly well defined considering the heat of that summer

This is also extremely pretty with an emphasis on red pinot fruit and a hint of forest floor on the nose that leads to rich

with an aftertaste of tea and tobacco

Marchand & Tawse, Morey Saint Denis Clos Ormes other_regions (91-93)/2024+(25% whole cluster). This too is firmly reduced and unreadable at present. The much more refined flavors are racy and lacy and while not especially dense, they do offer good backend punch on the lingering if somewhat lean finish. This appears to have the stuffing to allow the flavors and finish to flesh out as the wine ages though I doubt that it will ever be seductive. (87 90) 2027+
