saline and aromatic finish with ripe and stewed stone fruit aromas on the aftertaste

The 2010 La Tour de Mons is the same blend as the 2009

Once again there is just enough wood in evidence to merit pointing out on the petrol

I like this but be aware that there is rigor here so it will require some patience

there are just two barrels of this magical Pinot to go around

JL Chave Selection, Hermitage Farconnet Size:12x750ml saline and aromatic finish withThis shows mature notes, with espresso and warm cocoa melding into the mulled plum and blackberry fruit, while sauvage notes of tapenade, charcoal and bay leaf fill in on the finish. An underlying iron accent creeps along throughout. Hitting its stride already, but will hold in the cellar a bit. The debut bottling for Hermitage from Chave's ngoce portfolio. Drink now through 2020. 200 cases imported. JM
