Jean Bourdy Vin Jaune de Garde 1959 (Ex-Domaine)

This is at once more elegant and spicier as well with its pretty combination of red currant

There is fine volume to the exceptionally rich medium weight flavors that possess a seductive mid-palate that delivers fine depth and length on the balanced finish

balanced and harmonious finale

espresso and grilled herbs flesh out on the huge finish

blackberry and blueberry fruit

Here the equally brooding nose is slightly more elegant with its cool and restrained nose of red currant

is a relatively powerful statement from the new owners

Both 2013s are clearly the finest Eisele wines made under the administration of François Pinault and his top lieutenant

There is excellent complexity to the blend of plum

spice and floral elements

but with velvety tannin and stunning purple and black fruits

large-scaled effort that is not without considerable elegance for its mass and volume
