Richebourg, Domaine du Clos Frantin 2013

A wonderfully elegant and very spicy nose also features plenty of floral character on the aromas that combines notes of exotic tea, sandalwood, dried orange peel, lilac, violet and red and dark currants. There is ample richness to the broad-shouldered, concentrated and intense flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the textured, powerful and superbly long finish. This is a complete knockout but note well that there is absolutely zero sense in opening a bottle young except in the interest of science as this will require a very long stay in a cold cellar to arrive at its apogee.
