The tannin is buried beneath an amazing amount of concentration

A more deeply pitched nose displays a well-layered mix of both red and black pinot fruit along with notes of spice

made from grapes grown by David Abreu at his estate vineyards in Napa

this is not especially dense but it is both very complex and well-balanced

moving toward blacker berries

Jacques Frederic Mugnier Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Amoureuses 2004 Volume:750ML The tannin is buried beneathWhile there is a hint of vegetal on the now fully mature aromas of spicy secondary fruit, it does not materially detract from the overall aromatic appeal. I like the sense of verve to the delicious, round and lightly mineral inflected middle weight flavors that possess both grace and class on the moderately complex and balanced finale.
