Mourvèdre and Cinsault

This is robust but not rustic or austere and should reward longer-term cellaring

The succulent and more refined middle weight flavors don’t possess the same density or power on the moderately dry finale

This is a stunningly good effort and the only concern at the moment is that it’s not quite as complex as the best in the range

Louis Boillot, Pommard Croix Noires other_regions_italy Mourvèdre and Cinsault(from 70+ year old vines). Ripe and more deeply pitched aromas display notes of black cherry, raspberry, warm earth and a slightly gamy character. The succulent and round flavors possess a seductive mid palate that contrasts materially with the firm, compact, robust and muscular finale that offers excellent depth and persistence though here too at least 7 to 8 years of patience is counseled.
