Beaune, Clos du Roi, 1er Cru, Tollot-Beaut
Note:
Outstanding. A markedly ripe yet still fresh nose combines aromas of black raspberry, cherry, violet and a trace of anise. Consistent with the prior wines the medium weight flavors possess a wonderfully seductive mouth feel; indeed the word caressing is apt, all wrapped in lilting, dusty and moderately firm finale. Good stuff here and fashioned in a more forward and accessible style.
