Reduction currently dominates the fruit but my sense is that it won’t last once the wine has been racked

ripe orchard fruits and baked bread

but it is relatively fine and should age well on its balance

A more deeply pitched and slightly spicier nose reflects plenty of earth and sauvage characters to the dark berry aromas that are trimmed in soft wood nuances

cool and pure combination consists of both red and dark raspberry

Philippe Pacalet, Cote Rotie other_regions_italy Reduction currently dominates the fruitAged in older barrels and not yet bottled. Deep cherry red. Open and scented with pure black fruit and a gentle herbal (but not in the least green) note. Theres also a delicate rocky character adding precision. Mouth watering, moreish, powerful and still scented. Firm, chewy but fine tannins. Great harmony already. (JH)
