Fleurie Clos Vernay, Domaine Lafarge Vial 2014

Here the more deeply pitched and complex nose features notes of dark cherry, pepper, spice and more discreet floral scents. There is outstanding intensity to the racy and well-detailed medium weight flavors that possess a bit more volume and punch on the mildly austere and impressively persistent finish where the supporting tannins are slightly firmer. This should benefit from 6 to 8 years of cellaring yet be approachable after only 2 to 4 years.
