Sylvain Pataille, Marsannay Clos Roy Rouge Vintage:2016 a blend of 49% Cabernet(80% whole clusters). Here the expressive nose blends notes of very ripe red and dark pinot fruit with discreet exotic and floral nuances. The supple and energetic flavors are not particularly dense, but they do possess good detail on the overtly austere compact and serious finale where the balance isnt quite completely dialed in.
