anise and wisps of both red and dark currant

Anticipated maturity

It’s herbal to begin but underneath that is some riper fruit – citrus and even lychee – notes

This too is excellent and a wine that should effortlessly reward a decade or more of cellaring

Deep gold and very tangy in an apples-and-honey varietal way

Domaine, Anne-Francoise Gros Vintage:2019 anise and wisps of both(from the 1er portion). A restrained, cool and exceptionally pretty nose reluctantly reveals its aromas of red and dark pinot fruit, violet and distinct earth nuances. There is fine volume but very good detail too to the attractively textured, dusty, youthfully austere and stony finish where the only nit is a hint of warmth. Lovely.
