Ponsot Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2015

stunningly rich flavors that dance across the palate and the length here is flat out phenomenal

There is almost painful intensity to the super-sleek big-bodied flavors that possess a positively gorgeous mouthfeel due to a mid-palate that brims with sappy dry extract that coats the mouth on the hugely long and impeccably well-balanced finale

The middle weight flavors possess a mouth feel that is almost a hypothetical combination of the Lavières and Aux Allots in that it's quite rich yet sleek with a seductive succulence

but full body

grace and staying power

Dense ruby/purple in color

cool and beautifully spicy aromas of secondary red currant aromas that exhibit a discreet whiff of sous-bois

This is austere but not really rustic and should amply reward mid to long-term cellaring

and flavor dimension not tasting heavy

its bright demeanor makes its fruit lifted and drives the medley of flavors home

It still feels very firm and has a real backbone

a floral note that is unmistakable
