Suggestion from May 24 2017
Wine: 2014 Santenay "Clos Rousseau"
Producer: Maison Camille Giroud
Comment: A discreet sheen of wood doesn't interfere with the clear expression of the plum, violet and dark cherry suffused nose. There is ample earth character to the concentrated and serious flavors that display good minerality and a certain muscularity before terminating in a mildly austere and impressively long finish. This will need a few years but it should be quite good in time. Recommended for both quality and value.
