but site- and vintage-typical suggestions of baked apple and vanilla were clearly in evidence

I’d drink bottles over the coming 4-5 years

anise and wisps of both red and dark currant

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

Intense citrus leaves a tart chewiness and mouthwatering quality as crunchy mineral tones linger

Domaine, Anne-Francoise Gros Vintage:2019 but site- and vintage-typical suggestions(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.
