focused and lingering finish

This is restrained to the point that aggressive swirling is required to coax even a glimpse of the otherwise very fresh aromas of floral

Discreet wood influence sets off spicy and ripe yet admirably fresh black fruit and warm earth aromas that precede the rich

This is robust but not rustic or austere and should reward longer-term cellaring

Louis Boillot, Pommard Croix Noires other_regions_italy focused and lingering finish(from 70+ year old vines). Ripe and more deeply pitched aromas display notes of black cherry, raspberry, warm earth and a slightly gamy character. The succulent and round flavors possess a seductive mid palate that contrasts materially with the firm, compact, robust and muscular finale that offers excellent depth and persistence though here too at least 7 to 8 years of patience is counseled.
