Find D. Fornage's tasting notes below

Still very young in color. Classy aromas with elegance. Strong personality too. Fine tertiary notes of mushrooms and humus appear. Wine with a very tight structure, concentrated, but not heavy. It is crystalline in its precision with a magnificent iodized note. Its constitution is truly solid. The finish is extremely long. It was born to overcome the decades.
