and crushed rocks

a hint of animale and an overlay of obvious minerality complements perfectly the rich

This 2008 is a little difficult to work out at the moment

This should drink well young but have no trouble rewarding 5 to 8 years of cellar time

Palacios told me this wine was special from day one

Tortochot, Morey Saint Denis Renaissance Brut Zero and crushed rocks(from Clos Baulet and Clos des Ormes). An exuberantly fresh nose freely offers up its airy aromas of essence of red cherry, violet and a suggestion of exotic tea. The noticeably finer, indeed almost delicate, texture of the middleweight flavors contrasts markedly with the markedly firm and youthfully austere finale that also exudes a subtle minerality. Lovely and understated and a wine that should easily repay a decade plus of keeping.
