Very smoky and rich

even generous medium plus weight flavors where the supporting structural elements are quite tight but well-integrated

mint and spices

It's not just the insane level of concentration

a savoury note that brings aged Pinot Noir to mind

Jean Noel Gagnard, Hautes Cotes Beaune Sous Eguison other_regions Very smoky and rich(bottled under screwcap). Moderately firm reduction necessitates a quick aeration. Otherwise, there is very good freshness and verve on the palate of the delicious middle weight flavors that possess a subtle bead of minerality on the nicely detailed, dry and sneaky long finale. A quality Bourgogne; just be sure to give it some air first.
