Tasted at the vertical tasting at La Dominique

it still manages to remain refined and well-balanced

warm earth and sandalwood hints

Like the Clos de Vougeot

the latter of which really comes up on the super-saline finish that is explosively long

Christian Moueix, Ulysses other_regions_italy Tasted at the vertical tastingOakville fruit but Napa Valley on the label. Fresh picked berries and bramble on the nose become focused and spiced on the palate. Nice herbal and earth notes with rocky minerality across the full length of the palate. The open fruit expression of the nose creates the expectation of a bigger wine to follow but it is classical with good restraint and an impressive sense of precision in the mouth. Beautifully done.
