buttered toast

even juicy

Domaine, Henri Rebourseau other_regions Opaque crimson with purple hintsHere too the nose is clearly ripe if a bit more elegant with its array of plum liqueur, earth and soft floral nuances. The finer medium bodied flavors also possess a seductive mouthfeel thanks to the abundance of sappy dry extract that buffers the very firm tannic spine supporting the lingering finale where the only nit is a hint of warmth. This is definitely ripe and quite plush but serious that is also well worth checking out.
