2005 La Pousse d'Or Santenay 1er Cru Clos Tavannes - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Santenay 1er Cru (1/3/2008)
Deep red color is followed by a minty, spicy black and red fruit nose. Lots of raspberry and blackberry fruit on the palate with plenty of depth and solid tannic grip. Good framing acids complete a finely balanced wine where the red fruit lingers on the back of the palate. Impressive, and a step up from the very good 2002 that I bought in quantity a few years back.
