Richebourg, Domaine Gros Frère et Soeur 2014

Spicy black fruit liqueur like aromas are liberally laced with violet, sandalwood, Asian tea and dried rose petal. The opulent, suave and impressively rich large-scaled flavors possess good power and punch on the highly seductive mid-palate before concluding in a mineral-inflected finish where there is hint of acid tang. I suspect that the tanginess will subside relatively quickly as this seems quite ripe, indeed too much so to have too much acidity. Drink: 2026+
Note: from a .7 ha parcel that was partially replanted in 1985 and the remainder in 1989
