2016 Domaine Sylvain Pataille Marsannay Clos du Roy (750ml)

"(90-92) out of 100♥...Wood toast and reduction serve as a less than agreeable introduction to the wonderfully intense, detailed and mineral-driven middle weight flavors that are supported by ample mid-palate density, all wrapped in a sleek, refreshing and impressively persistent finish. This beauty will require a few years of patience but it is not so youthfully austere to suggest that it will require extended cellaring first." - Burghound
