2015 Beaune Marconnets

(still a good bit of malic acidity remaining; from small-berried old vines planted in 1955): Bright medium ruby. Quite reduced, even a bit stunted, on the nose, showing a tarry quality to its black raspberry, boysenberry and licorice aromas. Then almost surprisingly rich, silky and sweet in the mouth even if it's still quite primary. This very dense wine finishes with big, sweet tannins and excellent length.
