Laurent Ponsot Bourgogne Rouge 2016 Bottle:1 The palate is herbaceous

The palate is herbaceous

raspberry and dried herbs waft from the glass with this classic Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon

The idea behind this wine is to create an aromatic fruity wine with old world character

its lack of depth will keep it from my regular rotation of whiskeys that I enjoy drinking neat

before whirling into baking spices

Laurent Ponsot Bourgogne Rouge 2016 Bottle:1 The palate is herbaceousIts a delightfully pretty, red fruited Burgundy, fleshy though not at all heavy with a juicy, moreish personality and a long finish with hints of forest floor. The silky texture and overall quality for the level is glorious. A peuplier is a poplar tree. On the palate the wine is deep, full bodied and quite succulent out of the blocks, with a good core, fine focus and grip and a long, tangy finish. This is really, really good Bourgogne rouge!
