L'Aventure, Estate Cuvee other_regions a little spicier than I

a little spicier than I recall with fine tension towards the finish

explosive wine that is sure to deliver considerable intrigue and pleasure over the next 10-15 years or so

stony and impeccably well-balanced finale

the 2012 becomes more finessed with time in the glass

In sum this is Nuits in style but a civilized Nuits

L'Aventure, Estate Cuvee other_regions a little spicier than IGlass staining ruby. Assertively perfumed aromas of dark berry preserves, Asian spices and candied rose develop a vibrant mineral quality in the glass. Spicy and sharply focused on the palate, offering concentrated red and black currant, cherry and floral pastille flavors of outstanding clarity and power. Closes sappy, spicy and extremely long, with velvety tannins adding shape and gentle grip. Josh Raynolds
