This is very impressive but shows less sangiovese perfume than usual

It’s an excellent wine in a year that keeps on delivering right through the palate and hangs on for more

Benjamin Leroux, Clos Vougeot Petit Maupertui other_regions This is very impressive but(vinified with 90% whole clusters). Reduction conceals the underlying fruit though there is excellent complexity and vibrancy to the beautifully well delineated middle weight plus flavors that possess outstanding richness on the hugely long and youthfully austere finish. This very firm but well balanced effort is expressly builtto age and is going to need plenty of it. (92 95) 2029+
