creme de cassis

citrus filled finish

Follin Arbelet, Romanee Saint Vivant other_regions (87-89)/2018+The type of reduction that the Burgundians call bourgeon de cassis dominates the fruit today. The mouth feel is beautifully refined and even silky with the outstanding complexity, all supported by firm and even borderline rustic tannins that contrast considerably with the sleek mid palate texture. I suspect that the mildly chunky tannins will eventually give way to something more reflective of the natural refinement of a classic RSV. (91 94) 2028+
