Suggestion from July 01 2020
Wine: 2017 Marsannay "Le Boivin"
Producer: Château de Marsannay
Comment: This too is quite pungent as the firm reduction and wood toast make for a potent combination. The rich, concentrated and quite powerful middle weight flavors possess better mid-palate density and solid dry extract before concluding in an austere, backward and saline-infused finish. Patience advised.
Score: 90-92 Drink: 2025+
