candied flowers and Asian spices

and I prefer the Brand in 2005

with polished tannins and a crisp

energetic and refined barely middle weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the lingering and balanced finish

but also age

Benjamin Leroux, Savigny Beaune Rouge other_regions_australia candied flowers and Asian spices(mostly from Les Fourneaux with declassified 1er Hauts Jarrons as well). There is enough reduction to suppress the underlying fruit though there is very good density to the subtle mineral inflected flavors that deliver excellent length for a villages level wine on the balanced if mildly rustic finish. Very good quality here and the influence of the 1er is evident. Note that I would suggest decanting this if youre going to open a bottle young. 89 2022+
