Savigny Lavières, Domaine Tollot-Beaut 2018

A slightly cooler combination features notes of dark cherry, raspberry and violet along with whiffs of wood and earth. The sleeker, finer and more mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors possess lovely delineation as well as a beguiling texture that also contrasts somewhat with the firm, youthfully austere and sneaky long finish. This possesses a relatively sophisticated mouthfeel thanks to the fine-grained tannins. Drink: 2026+

Cherry, cinnamon, milk chocolate. Fine and dry tannins give ageable structure, and there is plenty of primary fruit to last too. (RH)
