accented by earth and tobacco notes

Beautifully balanced and concentrated

intense and serious broad-shouldered flavors possess excellent mid-palate concentration with ample amounts of dry extract that partially buffers the chewy and ripe tannins on the long and less austere than usual finish

has stunning purity of fruit

citrus and dried apple

Olivier Leflaive, Puligny Montrachet Pucelles other_regions_italy accented by earth and tobaccoHere too there is enough sulfur to render the nose difficult to read though soft floral nuance of acacia and honeysuckle do escape the funk. Otherwise there is lovely intensity to the caressing and attractively detailed medium bodied flavors that possess a highly refined mouthfeel, all wrapped in a saline and sappy finish. This too will need to add depth with bottle age but again, given the potential it should be able to accomplish that.
