There is outstanding intensity to the beautifully detailed medium-bodied flavors that possess a beguiling texture thanks to the abundance of sappy dry extract that also buffers the very firm acid spine shaping the saline and relatively powerful finish

Taupenot Merme, Chambolle Musigny other_regions_australia There is outstanding intensity to(from Les Bussires and the portion of La Taupe near La Combe dOrveau). This also offers a noticeable step up in elegance with its pretty mix of red currant, plum, dark cherry and pretty spice wisps. I very much like the texture of the middle weight flavors that possess both good density and minerality that become more apparent as the lingering and youthfully austere finish sits on the palate. Lovely and very Chambollesque.
