Tasted over 3 hrs -med dark red faint purple -ripe cranberry -med acidity retains cut through the med weight lush texture, expansive palate with ripe juicy red fruits on a creamy base, med/med- tannins with a just a bit of oak -this is ripe and lush but not at all flabby, still seems very Old World, gives the impression of really ripe red fruits, remarkable and in a perfect place now, pretty sure this is the best Côte Chalonnaise red I've ever tasted - the quality is off the charts and can please both classicists and fruit bomb enthusiasts if that is even possible
