Nuits Clos des Grandes Vignes (rouge), Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair 2015

Tasting Notes

A subtle but nonetheless perceptible amount of reduction is sufficient to push the underlying fruit to the background. The rich and full-bodied flavors possess an opulent yet sleek mouthfeel thanks to the abundance of sappy dry extract that also buffers the moderately firm tannic spine shaping the punchy finish where the reduction resurfaces. This may very well come together but whenever reduction is found on the palate, it's a cause for concern as it may not age out successfully.
