(from vines in Charmes-Dessus). A background trace of wood highlights very ripe orchard fruit aromas and a hint of lemon rind that complement the rich, full and sweet flavors that possess buckets of dry extract, indeed so much so that this has an almost tannic quality to the racy and linear finish. The finish is quite dry yet there is an underlying sweetness here that gives a seductive and silky quality to the mid-palate. 92/2008+
