spice and pear

There is interesting Chablis-like nuances of iodine and quinine present on the more citrusinflected nose of lemongrass and acacia blossom

Lovely waxy

boasting flavors of cherry

Rio Sordo was the more impressive but in 2016 Pora seems the finer

Albert Bichot (Clos Frantin), Vosne Romanee Clos Frantin other_regions_italy spice and pear(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+
