tobacco and tar flavors

and well-structured

The 2015 Côte Rôtie Eminence from Niero is another brilliant 2015 that should be snatched up by readers

The exceptions are the Baroli Voerzio bottled only in magnums (Sarmassa and Vecchie Viti dei Capalot e delle Brunate)

I imagine the 2005 still has another decade of fine drinking to offer

Lignier Michelot, Gevrey Chambertin Cuvee Bertin Vintage:2019 tobacco and tar flavors(from Les Seuvres and Les Murots; 40% whole cluster). This is the first wine to show any wood influence and its not subtle with its menthol and toast nuances on the spicy, sauvage and purple fruit scents. Like the old vines Morey this too possesses excellent mid palate concentration and a definite muscularity to the rich and velvet textured flavors that deliver solid length on the bitter cherry inflected finish that isnt quite as complex.
