2010 Red Burgundies The 2010s are absolutely classic in every respect and should provide for superb drinking in due time. More importantly, at least if you believe as I do that a burgundy s duty first and foremost is to accurately reflect its origins, the 2010 vintage delivers this terroir attribute in spades. Two other attributes that I very much admire about the vintage is just how fresh and vibrant it is and as such the wines are, remarkably enough, already a pleasure to drink. Note however that I would not expect this enhanced drinkability to last because once the pinot baby fat begins to recede we will see the underlying structure more clearly. In sum, should you find attractively priced 2010s on the market, I wouldn t hesitate to acquire them as the better wines will make for excellent cellar candidates. SPECIAL - 15 PERCENT OFF on purchases of six or more bottles of 2010 Red Burgundies through March 31, 2015 NOTE: accurate as of 1/23/15 Regular 15% Off DOMAINE ARLAUD MOREY-SAINT-DENIS Price Price 2010 Chambolle-Musigny (Arlaud)... $ 88.00 $ 63.75 Reduction knocks down the nose but the refined, pure and beautifully detailed flavors offer much to admire as well as a touch of minerality on the precise, vibrant and focused finish. This is a classic Chambolle and culminates in a linear and balanced finale. 2016+ (87-90/100) 2010 Morey-Saint-Denis Aux Chezeaux (Arlaud)... $ 95.00 $ 80.75 A curious nose of wood and reductive notes introduces rich yet unusually refined middle weight flavors that are underpinned by firm but ripe tannins that possess just a trace of offsetting rusticity on the impressively persistent finish. This well-balanced effort should reward up to a decade of cellar time. 2018+ (89-92/100) 2010 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Millandes (Arlaud)... $ 95.00 $ 80.75 A ripe, pure and notably cool nose offers up the somewhat incongruously ripe aromas of red cherry liqueur and the ripeness extends to the supporting tannins on the mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that possess a seductive mouth feel and excellent length on the balanced and palate coating finish. A classic Millandes of moderate power and plenty of minerality. 2018+ (90-92/100) DOMAINE JEAN-MARC BOILLOT POMMARD 2010 Volnay (Jean-Marc Boillot)... $ 60.00 $ 51.00 Good red with ruby tones. High-pitched nose offers cassis, blueberry, violet, licorice and smoke. Supple, fully ripe Volnay villages, with blackberry, violet and chocolate flavors carrying well on the finish. (88-90/100) 2010 Beaune Les Epenottes (Jean-Marc Boillot)... $ 78.00 $ 66.30 Good bright red. Dark aromas of black cherry, currant, licorice, menthol and minerals. Excellent depth, with firm acidity giving a crunchy quality to the dark cherry and licorice flavors. Firm, dusty tannins give this premier cru a solid structural underpinning. (88-90/100) 2010 Volnay Les Pitures (Jean-Marc Boillot)... $ 90.00 $ 76.50 Good red-ruby. An initial note of reduction blew off to reveal reticent aromas of berries and mocha; like a coulis of strawberry and black raspberry. Has the density of texture of a coulis as well, boasting excellent concentration and chewiness. Broader and more generous than usual for this cuvee at this stage. Boillot recommends waiting five years but with this level of density this premier cru will probably give pleasure earlier than that. (90-93/100)
BOUCHARD PÈRE & FILS - BEAUNE 2010 Beaune Les Teurons (Bouchard)... $ 68.00 $ 57.80 This is restrained but beautifully complex with a discreet nose of red currant, blue pinot, plum and floral nuances. The earthy medium-bodied flavors are delicious and supple but retain a fine sense of precision and detail on the firm and moderately austere finish. While there is fine aromatic depth, the palate impression does not enjoy the same level of complexity though perhaps it will develop. 2018+ (90/100) 2010 Beaune Clos de la Mousse (Bouchard)... $ 68.00 $ 57.80 A more complex and highly expressive nose that is fresh and admirably pure delivers essence of red pinot fruit, earth and subtle spice scents. The supple and refined flavors possess a silky mouth feel as the tannins are quite fine. This is not overly complex but here the quality of underlying material is such that my score offers the benefit of the doubt that more depth will develop in time. As it almost always is, this is a wine of finesse and refinement. 2018+ (91/100) 2010 Volnay Clos des Chênes (Bouchard)... $ 88.00 $ 74.80 Noticeable but not dominant wood influence fights a bit with the otherwise fresh, cool, airy and ripe raspberry liqueur, plum and floral aromas. The reserved and moderately austere medium weight flavors exude a fine minerality that continues onto the powerful, linear and lingering finish. This is also quite compact and not showing much today yet it s clear that there is excellent underlying material and the balance should enable this to age exceptionally well. 2022+ (92/100) 2010 Volnay Les Taillepieds (Bouchard)... $ 90.00 $ 76.50 2010 Volnay Les Caillerets-Ancienne Cuvée Carnot (Bouchard)... $ 105.00 $ 89.25 Mild reduction knocks down the nose and renders it difficult to properly assess. The ripe yet cool, detailed and intensely mineral-driven flavors possess plenty of tannin-buffering dry extract that imparts a sappy texture to the impeccably well-balanced and explosive finish. The Clos des Chênes is excellent but there is simply another dimension of depth present here. 2022+ (93/100) 2010 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots (Bouchard)... $ 175.00 $ 148.75 A classic and exceptionally fresh Vosne nose is replete with a wide variety of Asian spice scents that include anise, clove and cinnamon on the notably ripe cassis and black cherry aromas. There is a highly seductive quality to the mouth coating, velvety and suave middle weight flavors that exude a fine dry extract on the silky yet firm finish. This is not quite as complex as the very best of the Bouchard 1ers but this has its own considerable appeal. 2020+ (92/100) DOMAINE CAMUS-BRUCHON SAVIGNY-LES-BEAUNE 2010 Beaune Clos du Roi (Camus-Bruchon)... $ 65.00 $ 55.25 An intensely floral nose of essence of red berry fruit plus a hint of menthol is followed by supple, round and relatively forward flavors that are also quite delicious and easy-to-like before terminating in a sappy finish that is not especially deep or long. While I would stop short of calling this overtly fruit-driven, it is more in that context than the rest of the wines in the range. 2016+ (87-90/100) CHANDON DE BRIAILLES SAVIGNY-LES-BEAUNE 2010 Savigny-lès-Beaune (Chandon de Briailles)... $ 45.00 $ 38.25 A deeply pitched nose of Savigny-style earth, floral notes and fresh dark berry fruit aromas precedes the clean, fresh and vibrant middle weight flavors that are shaped by rustic but ripe tannins that are well-integrated on the tension-filled finish. This isn't particularly refined but it's solidly complex and well-balanced. 2015+ (87-89/100) 2010 Pernand-Vergelesses Ile de Vergelesses (Chandon de Briailles)... $ 65.00 $ 55.25 An intensely floral nose offers up notes of rose petal, violet and lavender that add elegance to the otherwise ripe and solidly complex blend of plum and wild red berry fruit scents. The refined, pure and strongly mineral-inflected flavors possess so much energy that they seem to vibrate in the mouth and this sense of tension makes for a wonderfully refreshing and sophisticated mouth feel. As if this wasn't enough there is also impeccable balance and a real sense of harmony. In sum, this mildly austere effort is a Zen-like wine that should age brilliantly. 2020+ (90-93/100)
2010 Corton Les Bressandes (Chandon de Briailles)... $ 135.00 $ 114.75 Reduction impairs an evaluation of the nose but there is good verve to the relatively finely detailed but broad-shouldered flavors that ooze a noticeable minerality on the tension-filled finish. There appears to be excellent underlying material along with solid phenolic maturity of the structural components but this is very awkward today. Given the quality of the basic raw material here, as well as the outstanding track record of this wine, my range offers the benefit of the doubt. 2025+ (91-94/100) DOMAINE ROBERT CHEVILLON NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES 2010 Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes (Robert Chevillon)... $ 78.00 $ 66.30 Very mild reduction diminishes only slightly the red and dark berry fruit aromas that are pungently earthy where this element continues onto the rich and impressively scaled flavors that possess a fleshy mouth feel, all wrapped in a long and mouth coating finish. This brooding and very serious effort will require 6 to 8 years to be at its best. 2016+ (88-91/100) DOMAINE CONFURON-COTETIDOT VOSNE-ROMANÉE 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin (Confuron-Cotetidot)... $ 85.00 $ 72.25 2010 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Vignerondes (Confuron-Cotetidot)... $ 115.00 $ 97.75 A spicy and distinctly earthy nose of ripe red and somber dark berry fruit slides gracefully into robust, intense and impressively rich flavors that display excellent size and weight as well as a textured mouth feel. This is also very firm but there is plenty of tannin-buffering extract and coats the palate on the driving and markedly persistent finish. This should be excellent if given sufficient time that it will very much need. 2025+ (91-94/100) 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chapelle (Confuron-Cotetidot)... $ 135.00 $ 114.75 A pretty and relatively high-toned nose of pure, cool and well-layered stone, red berries and a hint of underbrush where the latter can also be found on the mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that possess real verve on the tension-filled, dry and serious finish. As it always is, this is a firm wine of refinement and purity, indeed this displays Zen-like poise. 2022+ (90-93/100) 2010 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots (Confuron-Cotetidot)... $ 145.00 $ 123.25 Again, reduction is present but not enough to totally diminish the appeal of the spice notes that continue onto the rich, intense and remarkably vibrant flavors that also possess excellent volume along with an abundance of dry extract that confers a velvety texture to the linear and austere finish. It is a very good thing that there is so much sap because this is especially firmly structured and will need every bit of 15 years or so to fully resolved the underlying tannins. 2025+ (91-94/100) 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut-Saint-Jacques (Confuron-Cotetidot)... $ 150.00 $ 127.50 Very mild reduction does not completely hide the otherwise pretty and notably cool red berry, floral and stone-inflected aromas that complement well the minerally, detailed, supple and impressively intense medium-bodied flavors that possess an obvious touch of the sauvage on the herbal, focused and strikingly long finish that is, at present anyway, overtly austere. This is a classic Lavaut with an abundance of underlying tension and very firm supporting tannins. Ample patience will be required. 2025+ (91-93/100) DOMAINE MARIUS DELARCHE PERNAND-VERGELESSES 2010 Pernand-Vergelesses Ile de Vergelesses (Marius Delarche)... $ 58.00 $ 49.30 DOMAINE JOSEPH DROUHIN BEAUNE 2010 Côte de Nuits Villages (Joseph Drouhin)... $ 33.00 $ 28.05 2010 Côte de Beaune (Joseph Drouhin)... $ 48.00 $ 40.80 This is deeply pitched with a red and dark berry fruit nose preceding the detailed, complex and solidly voluminous flavors that possess just enough structure to suggest that is should benefit from 3 to 4 years of cellar time. A serious yet delicious effort that is recommended. 2015+ (89/100) 2010 Volnay (Joseph Drouhin)... $ 60.00 $ 51.00
2010 Gevrey-Chambertin (Joseph Drouhin)... $ 75.00 $ 63.75 (Drouhin indicated that this contained about 30% 1ers). This is really very pretty and while there is a hint of Gevrey-style animale character, the overall impression of the nose is one of understated refinement to the cool red and dark pinot fruit aromas cut with floral and plenty of earth and underbrush. The supple, round and delicious middle weight flavors evidence fine delineation and punch on the compact, intense, balanced and linear finish. This is very Gevrey in character and offers outstanding quality for a villages level wine, in no small part due to such a high proportion of 1er juice. 2017+ (89-91/100) 2010 Beaune Les Grèves (Joseph Drouhin)... $ 80.00 $ 68.00 Notably earthy with a complex nose of dark raspberry and plum with background hints of violet. There is excellent richness, size and volume to the medium-bodied flavors that are serious, even brooding before terminating in an exceptionally long and deep finish. This is also very firmly structured and will need ample cellar time to flesh out and mellow the structure. 2022+ (90-93/100) 2010 Chambolle-Musigny (Joseph Drouhin)... $ 85.00 $ 72.25 2010 Nuits-Saint-Georges (Joseph Drouhin)... $ 85.00 $ 72.25 2010 Volnay Clos des Chenes (Joseph Drouhin)... $ 110.00 $ 93.50 DOMAINE DUBREUIL-FONTAINE PERNAND-VERGELESSES 2010 Corton Clos du Roi (Dubreuil-Fontaine)... $ 150.00 $ 127.50 A brooding, even taciturn dark berry fruit and pungently earthy nose exhibits distinct game and sauvage characters, both of which continue onto the rich, mouth coating and overtly muscular flavors that possess good power and excellent depth and length. This is very firmly structured and should age impeccably well for 15 to 20 years and last 40 to 50. An impressive Clos du Roi. 2025+ (93/100) DOMAINE VINCENT GIRARDIN MEURSAULT 2010 Savigny-les-Beaune Les Serpentieres (Girardin)... $ 58.00 $ 49.30 2010 Volnay Vieilles Vignes (Girardin)... $ 60.00 $ 51.00 2010 Pommard Les Vignots (Girardin)... $ 68.00 $ 57.80 2010 Volnay Les Santenots (Girardin)... $ 85.00 $ 72.25 Bright red. Lively aromas of black cherry and chocolate complicated by spices and flowers. Sweet dark fruit flavors are a bit reticent today and lacking in complexity but already convey lovely finesse of texture. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins. Very Santenots and not at all overripe. (91/100) 2010 Pommard Les Grands Epenots (Girardin)... $ 88.00 $ 74.80 Bright, dark red. Wild, smoky aromas of currant, plum, sexy spices and meat. Silky-sweet on entry, then fine-grained and fairly full if a bit youthfully unforthcoming in the middle. Boasts very good density and an attractive acid/tannin balance but will be better for a few years in the cellar. (91(+?)/100) 2010 Pommard Les Rugiens (Girardin)... $ 115.00 $ 97.75 Good dark red. Already boasts plenty of incipient complexity to its scents of red berries, flowers, tobacco, linden leaf and underbrush; like an infusion of dried plants. Silky on entry, then dense, juicy and light on its feet in the middle palate, with firm acidity giving thrust to its explosive fruit. Spreads out on the powerful, very long finish, showing firm tannins but no hardness. (92 (+?)/100) 2010 Corton Les Perrieres (Girardin)... $ 125.00 $ 106.25 Good deep red. Pungent crushed-stone minerality lifts aromas of red berries, meat and mocha. Round in the mouth but given shape by strong, well-integrated acidity and pronounced smoky minerality. Lush, densely packed wine with a distinctly wild character. Finishes sappy and very long. (92 (+?)/100) 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers (Girardin)... $ 145.00 $ 123.25 Dark red. Sexy aromas of black raspberry, meat, animal fur and violet. Dense, saline and tight-grained, with lovely energy and finesse to the concentrated dark raspberry flavor. Finishes long and saline, with fine tannins. (90-93/100)
2010 Charmes-Chambertin (Girardin)... $ 225.00 $ 191.25 Red-ruby. Cherry, flowers and sweet oak on the nose. A seamless, sappy, fresh wine with terrific sucrosite. Silky and fresh, with no heaviness. In fact, this offers outstanding finesse for Charmes. Finishes lively, fresh, firm and long, with a note of chocolate. (92-95/100) 2010 Echezeaux (Girardin)... $ 240.00 $ 204.00 Good deep red. A compote of red fruits on the nose, along with hints of marmalade and nutty oak. Then wonderfully silky and sweet in the mouth, like a cocktail of red berries. Maintains good freshness and verve for all its ripeness. A serious tannic spine and noteworthy medicinal reserve give the wine grip and lift on the long, mouthcoating finish. (92 (+?)/100) HENRI GOUGES NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES 2010 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Chenes Carteaux (Henri Gouges)... $ 88.00 $ 74.80 Bright, dark red. Reduced aromas of cherry, redcurrant, minerals and chocolate. Suave, silky and fleshy but tight; shows an earthy complexity to the tangy red cherry flavor. Finishes firmly tannic and persistent, with the structure to age. Incidentally, Gregory Gouges is convinced that the 2010 premier crus will need at least three or four years of bottle aging, "but seven or eight would be better." (89-91/100) 2010 Nuits-Saint-Georges Clos des Porrets (Henri Gouges)... $ 105.00 $ 89.25 Good full red. Redcurrant, raspberry, crushed stone and smoky minerality on the rather serious nose. At once silky and tangy in the mouth, with raspberry and stone flavors dominating. A step up in breadth and dimension from the foregoing wines, offering lovely inner-mouth perfume. Very representative of the south side of the village: "never with explosive fruit early," notes Gouges. Has the firm tannin/acid structure to age. (91-93/100) 2010 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Pruliers (Henri Gouges)... $ 125.00 $ 106.25 Good bright, deep red. Aromas of boysenberry, licorice and spicy oak, plus an element of animal reduction. In a sweeter, fruity style but at the same time a bit more aggressive and less pliant than the Porrets St.-Georges. Big, ripe, dusty tannins give the savory, spicy, long finish an impression of power. Boasts excellent carry-through on the back. (90-93/100) THIBAULT LIGER-BELAIR NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES 2010 Charmes-Chambertin (Liger-Belair)... $ 290.00 $ 246.50 Good full medium red. Captivating nose offers wild dark raspberry, game, licorice and smoky minerality; a bit Chambertin-like. Fat, sweet and full yet light on its feet; in a distinctly opulent, broad style but sappy, saline and quite fresh. Really builds on the finish, which features sweet tannins and noteworthy flesh. (Liger-Belair did a labor-intensive berry-by-berry destemming for this wine, as he did with his Richebourg in 2010.) (91-94/100) 2010 Richebourg (Liger-Belair)... $ 695.00 $ 590.75 THIERRY MATROT MEURSAULT 2010 Volnay Les Santenots (Matrot)... $ 75.00 $ 63.75 DOMAINE MAUME GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux-Saint-Jacques (Maume)... $ 160.00 $ 136.00 DOMAINE MEO-CAMUZET VOSNE-ROMANÉE 2010 Fixin (Meo-Camuzet)... $ 78.00 $ 66.30 MONGEARD-MUGNERET VOSNE-ROMANÉE 2010 Fixin (Mongeard-Mugneret)... $ 55.00 $ 46.75 2010 Pernand-Vergelesses Les Vergelesses (Mongeard-Mugneret)... $ 65.00 $ 55.25 2010 Beaune Les Avaux (Mongeard-Mugneret)... $ 68.00 $ 57.80 2010 Vougeot Les Cras (Mongeard-Mugneret)... $ 115.00 $ 97.75 2010 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Boudots (Mongeard-Mugneret)... $ 115.00 $ 97.75 2010 Echezeaux (Mongeard-Mugneret)... $ 165.00 $ 140.25
2010 Clos Vougeot (Mongeard-Mugneret)... $ 215.00 $ 182.75 A mild herbal note adds lift to the floral and ripe red berry fruit aromas laced with earth hints that continue onto the somber, rich and voluminous flavors that possess excellent mid-palate concentration as well as very fine depth and length. There is a moderate amount of the hallmark austerity of a young Clos de Vougeot and this will require mid to long-term cellaring. 2025+ (91-93/100) 2010 Grands Echezeaux (Mongeard-Mugneret)... $ 325.00 $ 276.25 Moderate wood frames a wonderfully spicy nose of red and dark berry fruit that also displays lovely floral notes, in particular violet as well as an herbal hint. The wood is sufficiently strong to influence the texture of the very rich and overtly muscular broad-shouldered flavors that possess excellent mid-palate concentration and again, plenty of dry extract. The powerful and linear finish is not especially refined but this is very serious and the amount of stuffing is such that this should eventually integrate the oak treatment. 2025+ (92-94/100) DOMAINE DE MONTILLE VOLNAY 2010 Beaune Les Epenottes (Deux Montille)... $ 60.00 $ 51.00 2010 Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Saints Juliens (de Montille)... $ 85.00 $ 72.25 2010 Volnay Les Brouillards (de Montille)... $ 115.00 $ 97.75 2010 Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Thorey (de Montille)... $ 120.00 $ 102.00 A relatively restrained and attractively fresh nose offers up notes of earth, game and forest floor that add interest to the mix of red berry fruit. The supple, intense and beautifully precise flavors possess an unusually refined mouth feel due to the fine-grained tannins that also shape the firm, clean and agreeably dry finish. Lovely. 2020+ (90-92/100) 2010 Volnay Les Champans (de Montille)... $ 150.00 $ 127.50 Here the impressively pure nose speaks of extract of red currant together with notes of damp earth, spice and liquid stone. On the palate this is lacier and more refined than is typical with intensely mineral-driven flavors yet to be sure there is still some of the sleek muscularity one expects to find in a textbook Champans. I very much like the palpable sense of underlying tension though it s presently very tight and will need ample cellar time to completely unwind. 2022+ (91-93/100) 2010 Pommard Les Pèzerolles (de Montille)... $ 150.00 $ 127.50 A pure and more refined nose that evidences much more emphasis on mineral influence on the beautifully vibrant flavors that possess a lacy and intensely stony character to the long, balanced and sneaky long finish. This is a distinctly understated effort with laser-like focus and precision. 2022+ (91-94/100) 2010 Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts - Christiane (de Montille)... $ 695.00 $ 590.75 This is compositionally similar to the regular cuvée except that here there are even more spice elements in play. The powerful, long and very serious flavors are built on a base of minerality and while the supporting tannins are just as firm, they are finer; indeed the overall mouth feel is more refined before finally culminating in a balanced, pure and Zen-like finish. Superb. 2027+ (93-96/100) THOMAS MOREY CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET 2010 Maranges La Fussiere (Thomas Morey)... $ 32.00 $ 27.20 2010 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes (Thomas Morey)... $ 35.00 $ 29.75 2010 Santenay Grand Clos Rousseau (Thomas Morey)... $ 55.00 $ 46.75 2010 Beaune Les Greves (Thomas Morey)... $ 58.00 $ 49.30 VINCENT MOREY CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET 2010 Santenay Les Gravieres (Vincent Morey)... $ 48.00 $ 40.80
LA POUSSE D OR VOLNAY 2010 Santenay Clos des Tavannes (Pousse d Or)... $ 85.00 $ 72.25 A notably ripe nose of both red and blue pinot fruit combines with pepper and earth before sliding gracefully into rich, round and utterly delicious medium weight flavors that possess excellent mid-palate density as well as a high level of phenolic maturity. There is both good balance and fine persistence and this should drink well early if desired. 2016+ (89/100) 2010 Volnay En Caillerets (Pousse d Or)... $ 125.00 $ 106.25 A lightly spiced nose evidences a hint of smoke as well as plenty of minerality on the ripe cassis, plum and violet infused nose. There is excellent richness and mid-palate concentration to the suave, round and mouth coating flavors that possess fine delineation before terminating in a mineral-inflected, dusty and impressively persistent finish. Lovely. 2018+ (91/100) 2010 Volnay En Caillerets-Clos des 60 Ouvrées (Pousse d Or)... $ 145.00 $ 123.25 This is more aromatically complex still with a beautifully floral nose of rose petal, violet and lavender as well as liqueur of red currant and black cherry. The hallmark minerality of this wine is very much in evidence on the palate staining flavors that possess a silky and highly sophisticated mouth feel while culminating in a dusty, explosive and gorgeously long finish. This does that wonderful slow build from the mid-palate to the finale and this should age exceptionally well. 2022+ (93/100) 2010 Corton Clos du Roi (Pousse d Or)... $ 165.00 $ 140.25 This is more animale in character with a somber if highly complex nose featuring dark berry fruit, stone, earth and underbrush nuances. There is an overt muscularity to the big-bodied, intense and robust flavors that possess a most admirable amount of structure-buffering dry extract that imparts a velvety texture to the borderline chewy and terrifically persistent finish. A classic Clos du Roi that is built for the long-term. 2025+ (94/100) NICOLAS ROSSIGNOL VOLNAY 2010 Volnay (Nicolas Rossignol)... $ 68.00 $ 57.80 As one would reasonably expect, this is both more elegant and a bit more complex as well with an airy and cool nose of red berry fruit aromas interwoven with soft mineral notes. There is a relatively generous, even opulent mouth feel to the refined middle weight flavors that possess excellent intensity on the balanced and lingering finish. A quality villages. 2016+ (88/100)
