Pierre Jacques Druet Chinon Clos de Danzay 1995

Pierre Jacques Druet Chinon Clos de Danzay 1995: This has a dark and maturing hue, and the nose shows lovely mature development to match. It is dominated by a meaty-smoky sense, with plenty of mature, sweet, macerated fruit, with notes of blood, iron, green peppercorns and mint. Medium weight on the palate, dry, with a full, sensuous texture. Refined, mature, blackcurrant and raspberry fruits with minty overtones, culminating in a gamey finish. This has a lovely style and nice length. Very good indeed. 18/20 (13/2/06)
