2018 Fleurie Le Clos des Bachelards

Saturated, bright-rimmed ruby. A highly expressive, spice-accented bouquet evokes ripe red and blue fruit preserves, vanilla and incense, and a smoky mineral nuance builds in the glass. Sappy, focused and appealingly sweet, offering densely packed black raspberry, cherry cola, boysenberry and lavender pastille flavors that show outstanding definition and spicy lift. Closes gently tannic, focused and extremely long, leaving resonating floral and red fruit preserve notes behind.
