Pierre Amiot, Clos Saint Denis

Pierre Amiot, Clos Saint Denis(from a . 17 ha parcel of 24 year old vines levage in 50% new wood). What was an expressive and airy nose from cask has become low key and brooding though it remains impressively deep and still features red, black and violet aromas that continue onto the supple, round and notably sweet flavors that are textured and mouth coating with ample extract that renders the tannins almost invisible on the solidly long and silky finish. This will be accessible

with Claude Pouizin running the estate through 1996

tannic and likely to require quite a bit of patience

The much more refined flavors are racy and lacy and while not especially dense

three months before I tasted it

as the next vintage that is scheduled for release

It was produced in 2008

A discreet touch of wood frames spicy and ripe yet reasonably cool aromas of dark raspberry

with fresh acidity in its notes of orange peel and spices

but behave better in warmer ones

The 2008s show a work in progress as Conterno only had control of the vineyard for a few months that year

offering a complete representation of the northern part of the Côte des Blancs
