Gevrey-Chambertin, Lavaux Saint Jacques, Maison Roche de Bellene

Note:

Generous wood fights somewhat with the ripe and fresh aromas of wild red berries that display a top note of menthol. There is excellent volume and concentration to the lightly mineral-inflected middle weight flavours that possess good power on the mocha-infused and highly persistent finish. This is a bit woody for my taste but the underlying material is in place to eventually absorb it.
