Domaine Jaeger-Defaix Rully Clos du Chapitre 2016 Bottle:1 Wine : Of beautiful guard

Wine : Of beautiful guard (10 to 15 years)

black and blueberries with a touch of dried summer herbs such as marjoram and thyme follow through to the palate where the solid tannic structure of this variety gives structure and weight to the berry fruit character

Acidity and some fruit stalkiness add their balance to the mix

The ripe fruit flavors of this wine make it a great match for pasta with tomato sauces

Domaine Jaeger-Defaix Rully Clos du Chapitre 2016 Bottle:1 Wine : Of beautiful guardThere is enough reduction present to mask everything but some spice wisps. On the plus side there is more volume, richness and muscle to the utterly delicious yet quite serious medium weight flavors that also possess an attractive texture, all wrapped in a dusty, complex, balanced and lingering finale. I would suggest allowing this wine from 5 to 8 years of cellar time and drink it over the following 5 years.
