Burghound.com Top Value Choice of the Week
Suggestion from July 28 2010
Wine: 2005 Mercurey - Cuvée Caroline
Producer: Domaine Bruno Lorenzon
Comment: This possesses the almost the same aromatic profile as the Champs Martin except here there is a bit more elegance and spice to complement the impressively scaled and almost unctuously rich flavors that possess buckets of sap, all wrapped in chewy but completely buffered tannins and superb length. Again, this is a modern wine but deftly made and one that delivers unusually high quality at this level.
Score: 89-92 Drink: 2013+
