Deep garnet-purple colored

hile the wood treatment is certainly evident it's more subtle on the overtly cool and restrained nose that is markedly spicy with its combination of relatively high-toned aromas of red cherry

Chapoutier's effort at making sweet vin de paille from raisined and dried-out Hermitage grapes was highly successful in 1991

This is very impressive juice and still holding perfectly and the '85 is easily the best vintage of the decade for Clos de Tart

It's going to be interesting in 25 or 30 years' time to see which of these is the better wine
