an unctuous texture

An elegant and pure young Vaucrains

with tons of pure texture from the 28% still Pinot in the blend

the 2017 Alter Ego de Palmer is deep garnet-purple in color and springs from the glass with vivacious black raspberries

Pierre Girardin other_regions_italy an unctuous texture(100% whole clusters). A mentholated top note is present on the pretty aromas of rose petal, peony, anise and wisps of both red and dark currant. The sleek, intense and beautifully delineated mineral driven flavors are less rich but more powerful and more complex on the strikingly long finish. The texture, while less enveloping, is more sophisticated and overall, I very much like the sense of proportion and harmony.
