Tasting notes
The 2013 Clos St Denis Grand Cru was distinguished by simultaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. It has quite an exuberant bouquet with kirsch and Morello cherries that develop with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, good density, but it needs to develop more precision on the finish. This will require several years in bottle and in the interim, I would like to see just a little more pixelation.

Bright red. Lovely lift to the aromas of redcurrant, iron and dried rose. Sappy and exuberant on the palate, showing complex soil-driven flavors of red fruits, iron, Asian spices and minerals. Chewy, saline, electric wine with a mounting peacock's tail of a finish featuring piquant minerality and lingering perfume.
