lilac and dark raspberry

long and serious vintage of Clos des Lambrays is built for the medium plus term

fresh violet and licorice that frame elegant forest berry and blood orange

This is a classic Nuits that is built-to-age and will need it

The full-bodied palate is densely packed and tightly wound with loads of black fruits

Telmo Rodriguez, Altos Lanzaga Vintage:2001 lilac and dark raspberryRed ruby color. Wild aromas of cassis, redcurrant, blueberry, graphite, violet, minerals and licorice. Very concentrated flavors of blueberry and oak; much more elegant and refined less wild than the 2001 Lanzaga. Finishes with substantial, building, oak powered tannins that coat the entire palate. Aged in all new French barriques for 18 months. In contrast to the "regular" Lanzaga, this calls for at least a couple years of additional bottle aging.
