anise and clove plus discreet mineral nuances that are set off by enough wood to warrant mentioning

Saunders and Sage Ridge

indeed almost delicate lemon rind-inflected finish

Racy and lively with a good spine of ripe fruit and no obvious sweetness nor alcohol

all wrapped in a long and mouth coating finish that displays just the barest hint of rusticity

Lucien Le Moine, Corton Charlemagne Blanc other_regions_italy anise and clove plus discreet(from vines in Pernand). A pure nose of Granny Smith apples, freshly sliced lemons and limes, white flowers and plenty of wet stone character. There is outstanding size, weight and punch to the relatively elegant broadshouldered flavors that possess good depth and length but there is a surprising lack of punch. Perhaps it is just a stage but given the natural energy of Corton Charlemagne from Pernand, this is not typical. (89 92?) 2019+
