The tannins are a good deal more sophisticated here and I very much like the overall sense of harmony and refinement

Despite the young vines the palate impression of the medium weight flavors is lovely as it is at once caressing and refined

Here too there is a hint of warmth but in this case it is much less intrusive if not invisible

supple and attractively textured medium weight flavors are shaped by lemon-tinged acidity on the lingering finish that is perhaps ever-so-slightly less complex than usual though more depth will undoubtedly develop over time

the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul is even riper and more concentrated

Joseph Roty, Gevrey Chambertin Fonteny other_regions_italy The tannins are a good(from 80+ year old vines). A more restrained, fresher and notably layered nose offers up notes of black cherry, plum and spice that are trimmed in subtle wood treatment. The supple, refined and attractively mineral inflected medium bodied flavors possess fine depth and persistence on the dusty, austere and backward finish that is presently quite compact. This well made effort will definitely need time to unwind.
