There is a discreet whiff of exotic fruit character to the white peach

it’s not clear whether this will ultimately harmonize

Convincing rather than just dry

They were looking for something that represents the essence of Malbec

intense and lingering finish

Benjamin Leroux, Clos Vougeot Petit Maupertui Vintage:2021 There is a discreet whiff(vinified with 90% whole clusters). Reduction conceals the underlying fruit though there is excellent complexity and vibrancy to the beautifully well delineated middle weight plus flavors that possess outstanding richness on the hugely long and youthfully austere finish. This very firm but well balanced effort is expressly builtto age and is going to need plenty of it. (92 95) 2029+
