The oak is nicely integrated here

especially for near and medium-term drinking

this beauty is full-bodied

leading to a minty undercurrent with a waft of cinnamon

Taupenot Merme, Gevrey Chambertin Vintage:2012 The oak is nicely integrated(from Craite Paille, Les Seuvres, Belair and La Justice). This is also relatively elegant and cool with its combination of wild red cherry, sauvage and discreet spice whiffs. The precise and almost lilting middleweight flavors possess a lovely sense of tension while displaying fine length on the youthfully austere and balanced finale. This could arguably use a bit better depth, but more should develop with a few years of keeping.
