Anne Gros, Hautes Cotes De Nuits Rouge Vintage:2009 airy and admirably pure nose

airy and admirably pure nose features crystal clear and transparent red pinot fruit and essence of stone

Tertiary aromas of tar and licorice give the wine an extra sense of kick and energy

with tons of pure texture from the 28% still Pinot in the blend

Sisseck is thorough and meticulous

but it has more power and plenty of depth
