Chateau Marsannay, Ruchottes Chambertin Vintage:2015

Chateau Marsannay, Ruchottes Chambertin Vintage:2015(from a . 09 ha parcel). This is also quite reduced and essentially unreadable. Otherwise there is a distinctly cool and restrained character to the lively and well detailed middle weight flavors that possess a seductive texture before concluding in an intensely stony, complex and well balanced finish. This too should benefit from mid term cellaring yet unlike the Chambertin, it should be approachable young if desired. (90 93) 2024+

This is the first vintage of Yalumba s new Cabernet/Shiraz-based flagship wine

A completely different aromatic profile is present here with its fresh and cooler dark berry fruit scents that are liberally sprinkled with notes of wild flower and the sauvage

A true long distance runner that will require every bit of a decade to reveal its full potential and perhaps longer

even seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that possess focused power and punch on the balanced and impressively persistent finish

(90-93)2032+

the tannins are a bit rustic

Moderate but not dominant wood sets off spicy

floral aromas

The full-bodied palate is densely packed and tightly wound with loads of black fruits

almost exotic

otherwise quite muted and rather closed

very dry and saline finale that delivers outstanding persistence
