briary and cassis fruit

Medium- to full-bodied with fine

Juicy and powerful on the palate

Wonderful nose of black currants and black olive

This smells like apricot tarte tatin with notes of toasted nuts and caramelized bananas

Domaine Henri et Gilles Buisson Saint-Romain Sous Roche, Cote de Beaune, France 2020 Chianti briary and cassis fruitRipe blackberry and pomegranate fruit, with a spicy edge. The ripeness is in no way overdone, and the structure on the palate shows a lovely balance between the tannin, fresh acidity and plentiful extract. From a 3ha parcel where the vines average 60 years of age, planted with massale selection. Harvest was fairly late and the grapes were partially destemmed before fermenting using a gentle extraction and ageing in cask for a year. 94 Pts Decanter
