dark fruit

but they do flash equally good minerality on the impressively lengthy finale

dark berries and flowers introduce Mayard’s 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape

What a treat it is to taste this

it's built around an incisive spine of acidity

Philippe Charlopin-Parizot, Echezeaux other_regions_italy dark fruit(from En Orveaux). Generous oak fights with the aromas of spicy pomegranate, cherry and violet. The exceptionally rich, even suave, medium bodied flavors possess very good concentration, power and persistence on the mouth coating and sappy if somewhat sweet finish that I found borderline cloying. I suspect that this will become more interesting with age but for now, its not at the same level as the best of these grands crus.
