dark pinot fruit and plenty of earth character

The rich and relatively generously proportioned flavors conclude in a lemony finish that is attractively dry if only moderately complex

(from Mitans proper)

dusty and focused finale that exudes an abundance of minerality

menthol and licorice all develop in the glass

Mongeard Mugneret, Vougeot Cras Rouge other_regions_italy dark pinot fruit and plentyA very ripe yet still acceptably fresh nose speaks of menthol, spice and liqueur like black raspberry aromas. There is very good volume to the reasonably well detailed medium bodied flavors that culminate in a mocha infused finish that noticeable wood and warmth can be found. This is a wine to watch as it ages because while it has the stuffing to reward 6 to 10 years of cellaring, I do wonder if it might become heavy as it does so.
