2005 Joseph Drouhin Amoureuses Champagne almond and hazelnut that ebb"A drop dead gorgeous nose of wood and natural spice aromas, black and blue pinot fruit aromas nuanced by hints of violets and floral tones leads to seductive, sweet and mouth coating medium full flavors that are textured, delicious and plumy, all supported by sve wrapped tannins that are rendered almost invisible on the hugely long finish. A really beautiful effort that will age for decades." 94 100 Burghound
