Lucien Le Moine Vintage:2019 late harvest character found in

late harvest character found in many Banyuls

Rather like a leaner-styled Cote-Rotie

It has menthol and green flavor characteristics with a just-starting to develop toasty character

As is often the case

nervy and full energy

Lucien Le Moine Vintage:2019 late harvest character found in(from Chanlins). A cooler and more elegant if not quite as spicy nose that blends wisps of red and dark raspberry with a lovely array of floral elements and in particular, violet. Once again the mouthfeel of the slightly bigger flavors is sleek and refined with evident minerality suffusing the bitter cherry pit inflected finale. This is powerful yet graceful and like the Santenots, a wine that should age gracefully over the next 12 to 15 years.
