Jean Fournier, Marsannay Trois Terres Vv other_regions_italy and those aromatic herb notes

and those aromatic herb notes make a comeback in the finish

This is drinking about as well as it's going to get

Vertical and imposing in its sense of structure

full and powerful medium-bodied flavors brimming with dry extract

perhaps just less of the orange blossom here but still utterly captivating

Jean Fournier, Marsannay Trois Terres Vv other_regions_italy and those aromatic herb notes(from a blend of Clos du Roy, Longeroies and Es Chezots). This is also firmly reduced and aromatically unreadable today. There is more volume to the rich, concentrated and caressing yet powerful middleweight plus flavors that conclude in a compact, serious and long if somewhat grippy finale that makes clear that extended cellaring will be necessary.
