painfully young Cristal that will require considerable patience

cool and pure dark berry fruit and black cherry aromas to shine

Ornellaia’s Sauvignon harvest took place in the last week of August in 2016

Chapoutier, Ermitage Greffieux other_regions painfully young Cristal that willVivid purple. Mineral and smoke accented blackberry and blueberry on the intensely perfumed nose and in the mouth. Lush but energetic, with a peppery nuance adding bite and a sexy floral note building in the glass. Gains weight and structure with air and finishes with outstanding power and focus, on a lingering candied violet note. The most mineral driven of this year's set of Ermitage bottlings from Chapoutier, and in need of patience. Josh Raynolds
