Very good quality here and the linear and driving mineral-inflected finish is really quite serious

the Alpine is positively stellar today

tangerine oil and a range of saline-infused notes all run through the 2018

This is the only wine in the range to exhibit any reduction and here it’s enough to dominate the fruit

Philippe Colin, Santenay Gravieres Rouge other_regions_italy Very good quality here andA more discreet dollop of wood is present on the nicely cool and ripe nose of mostly dark pinot fruit, newly turned earth and a whiff of spice. The rich, concentrated and lush medium bodied flavors are a bit more obviously mineral driven while delivering fine length on the ever so slightly austere finale. This is relatively forward and could be enjoyed after only 2 to 3 years of bottle age.
