Pierre Jacques Druet Bourgueil Grand Mont 1997

Pierre Jacques Druet Bourgueil Grand Mont 1997: A pleasing, brick-maturing hue here, but still quite rich. A lovely nose, initially showing some blackberry, but then a more serious profile of peppered bloody beef, and minerally iron, with an organic, meaty quality. Midweight palate, but very finely balanced, and with a lovely minerally presence. Spicy, meaty flavours with a touch of tobacco. Delicious finish and super length. Lovely. Drink now. 18.5/20 (6/2/06)
