Benjamin Leroux, Clos Vougeot Vintage:2016 pineapplesAn intensely floral nose also features plenty of pungent earth to the otherwise perfumed red currant and plum suffused aromas.

This is blessed with plenty of mouth coating extract that does a good job of buffering the presently disguised tannic spine. This will also require plenty of cellar time. (91 93) 2022+
