clean finish

clean and moderately austere finale

there are just two barrels of this magical Pinot to go around

(from Les Gamaires)

my expectations of this wine were not met

Launay Horiot, Pommard Rugiens Bas other_regions_italy clean finish(from a . 09 ha parcel). There is just enough wood present to mention, framing the cool, pure and beautifully complex dark currant, red cherry, spice and whiff of the sauvage. As is usually the case with Rugiens, the big bodied flavors still manage to be finer than those of a typical Chaponnires and notably more mineralinflected while delivering superb depth and length. I very much like the mouth feel and this is both classy and stylish. 94 2027+
