concentrated and with depth of flavor

oolong tea and caramelized mandarin orange - we associate with this vintage

This is very impressive but shows less sangiovese perfume than usual

Caroline Morey, Chassagne Montrachet Champs Gains Vintage:2017 Despite the reserve(from vines planted in 2009). An airy and pretty if not especially dense nose combines notes of white orchard fruit, especially pear, with those of citrus, wood and resin. The delicious and round flavors also display good punch that contrast somewhat with the youthfully austere and reasonably long finish. This will need to add depth if it is to merit the upper end of my projected range. (89 92) 2024+
