2012 Thierry Richoux Irancy

The 2012 Irancy has a touch more fruit intensity than the 2013, fragrant red cherries and wild strawberry mixed with subtle forest floor scents. The palate is fresh and clean with fine tannin, more backbone than the 2013 with cranberry and white pepper intermarried on the sustained finish. This is a joyful Irancy Pinot Noir that can be broached now and over the next five years. Superb!
