2012 Marsannay Rouge Cuvee l`Ancestrale, Sylvain Pataille

"A discreet application of wood sets off spicier and slightly riper aromas that are otherwise similar to those of the Clos du Roy. There is both good richness and fine detail to the powerful and concentrated medium weight flavors that deliver beautiful persistence on the balanced and strikingly persistent finish. This is an excellent Marsannay and absolutely worth your interest. Outstanding. Drink 2022+"  Allen Meadows, Burghound
