2012 Domaine Louis Boillot et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin

Good bright red. Lively aromas of red cherry, raspberry and menthol; this smells juicy! Suave, sweet and pure on the palate; creamy but vibrant, with red fruit and floral flavors complicated by a mineral nuance. Finishes with a fine dusting of tannins and lovely floral persistence. Very ripe but without any surmaturite .
