If it is not quite as tightly wound as in some years

There is excellent richness to the lush and markedly round medium weight flavors that deliver fine length on the solidly complex and persistent finish

I was visiting them with a group of Portuguese wine producers a decade ago

The delicious lighter weight flavors are quite supple while offering acceptable length on the balanced finale where a hint of youthful austerity appears

spices and tar emerge

Ramonet, Chassagne Montrachet Rouge other_regions If it is not quiteA cool, pure and peppery earth inflected combination reflects notes of primarily red berries with just a hint of dark currant. The round yet nicely detailed middle weight flavors are not especially dense, but I like the depth on the ever so mildly austere finale that flashes a touch of warmth. This manages to avoid the usual Chassagne rouge rusticity and is a wine that could easily be enjoyed young if thats your preference.
