elegant but with the Duero rusticity and stone minerality

The 2008 Barolo Riserva Rüncot is an exceptional wine that is only made in the best years

Impressive tannic structure that reminds me a little of Nebbiolo

hoisin and exotic tea

The wine is soft and textured with mild acidity

Hubert Lignier, Gevrey Chambertin Brut Zero elegant but with the Duero(note that Lignier uses the spelling of Regnard rather than the more common, and officially sanctioned, Reniard). Here too the nose is fresh and bright with a slightly cooler array of herbal tea, red pinot fruit and pungent earth and sauvage characters. I very much like the mouthfeel of the succulent and generous though appealingly delineated flavors that offer fine depth and persistence on the moderately structured finale. This well made effort
