even robust finish does more than hint at the cellar potential

ripe vintage at Salon

but couldn’t have asked for better teachers than Angelo and Lucia Gaja

There is so much fruity succulence here that the wine should stand up to a gamey dish of liver pâté or pasta with wild boar

This Zinfandel blend (with 23% Petite Sirah and 6% Carignan) has an intense purple juiciness

Chandon de Briailles, Savigny Beaune Lavieres other_regions even robust finish does more(from a parcel just under Talmettes). Discreet wood and menthol notes frame the very ripe aromas of cassis, violet, earth and spice. There is once again excellent richness, volume and sappy dry extract to the middle weight plus flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the refined and impressively long finish. This is certainly quite ripe but there is good tension and this should amply repay extended cellaring. 92 2025+
