the wine fills out

The wines have the purity and clean rusticity of the Cornas from Clape

dried flowers

A somber nose half-heartedly offers up notes of forest floor

intense and focused big-bodied and overtly muscular flavors that are beautifully precise on the incredibly backward and austere finish

Robert Chevillon, Nuits Saint Georges Ronciere Vintage:2013 the wine fills out(45 year old vines). Here the lateness of the malos is in evidence as the nose is almost raw with traces of fermentation aromas and reduction though the medium plus weight flavors are detailed, racy and offer more minerality than usual. I tried this from several different barrels, including one from a new barrel that was further developed and the material is impressive and its possible that my score could be conservative.
