2013 Domaine Amiot-Servelle Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru

The 2013 Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru has a tightly wound bouquet with blackberry and boysenberry fruit, less expressive than the Charmes-Chambertin ’11 but with fine delineation and focus. The palate is very structured with fine, succulent tannins and a keen silver thread of acidity. There is real density to the Clos Saint Denis, a symmetrical structure and a lovely dash of white pepper on the spicy finish. It deserves several years of aging. Superb.
