I've not had much Marchand Tawse; good value here from what I can see, but this bottle was quite polished and almost new world in feel; there is very ripe fruit with a veneer of oak applying some sweet spices and then a hint of floral notes. There is solid concentration and balance and a good finish, but it didn't speak much to me of the place. Blind I may have called this a higher end Oregon wine. May improve as the oak integrates more as with air there was a bit of a sanguine hint. Will revisit tomorrow.
Not much change in 24 hours; still very ripe and polished, but attractive. Balanced and very tasty though again pretty new world in style. Will hold my other bottle for awhile and see what develops.

Musique & Vin Wine Tasting (Château du Clos de Vougeot): Tasting, brief note. Floral and spice with juicy red berry that shows intense concentration. Yum.
