the soaring

It has all of the Eden Valley hallmarks

Spice-accented aromas complement cassis

polished tannins and a penetrating finish

full and very serious big-bodied and tautly muscular flavors supported by plenty of dry extract and superb length

Philippe Charlopin-Parizot, Bonnes Mares Vintage:2019 the soaring(from terres blanches or the white soil portion of the vineyard). Much more subtle but not invisible wood can be found on the cooler and more layered aromas of red berries, warm earth and pretty floral whiffs. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the stony and muscular large bodied flavors that conclude in a youthfully austere and robust finale that flirts with rusticity. Good potential here but patience definitely advised.
