A host of mocha

concentrated and layered flavors blessed with ample dry extract and excellent finishing depth

with tar and ganache echoes hanging in the background

but it will be a vintage similar to 2001 that will take a long time to really show its best

gently perfumed floral character

Michele et Patrice Rion, Bonnes Mares other_regions_italy A host of mocha(from a small parcel that makes on average one barrel annually; 100% new wood). A brooding and restrained nose of notably cool red currant, earth and ferrous earth aromas are in keeping with the equally serious and tightly wound flavors that possess a sleek muscularity on the dense and superbly long finish. The supporting tannins are firm but clearly phenolically mature and this should repay 12 to 15 years of aging. (92 94) 2021+
