Lucien Le Moine Vintage:2019 highly refined and elegant on(from Chanlins). A cooler and more elegant if not quite as spicy nose that blends wisps of red and dark raspberry with a lovely array of floral elements and in particular, violet. Once again the mouthfeel of the slightly bigger flavors is sleek and refined with evident minerality suffusing the bitter cherry pit inflected finale. This is powerful yet graceful and like the Santenots, a wine that should age gracefully over the next 12 to 15 years.
