(Ponsot Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes) This just was sensational albeit very very young. The nose was intense rasberry coulis mixed with spice dust, cinnamon and wet earth. The palate was velvety, seamless and concentrated with lots of power and richness which it wore gracefully. Lovely finish and lively fruit backed up by BIG acidity. This was essentially closed but still had enough there to be immensely pleasurable. Profound bottle of wine and one that will last easily 40-50 years in the cellar.
