exotic tea and black cherry scents

plum and plenty of pungent earth

There is fine density to the powerful yet caressing medium-bodied flavors that are a bit less mineral- driven but much more complex and persistent on the overtly saline finish

more black than red

Jayer Gilles, Echezeaux Dessus other_regions_italy exotic tea and black cherry(from ~50 year old vines). A markedly spicy wide ranging nose combines notes of red cherry, raspberry, plum liqueur and hints of Asian style tea. The supple and round middle weight flavors arent especially dense though they do possess a seductive texture before culminating in a lightly stony, long and powerful finale where a touch of warmth gradually emerges. While this is certainly very good, its perhaps not quite at its usual very high level.
