firm and lingering finale

The 2019 Pinot Noir Running Fence Vineyard Cuvée Catherine is magical

Here the nose blends both upper and lower register aromas as the pretty red berry liqueur-like notes combine with pungent earth and iron nuances

it begins to reveal beguiling notes of fragrant earth

Give this another year in the cellar before opening

Mordoree, Lirac Reine Bois Rouge other_regions_australia firm and lingering finaleI previously reviewed the 1998 Lirac Cuvee de la Reine des Bois prior to bottling, and it is living up to my expectations. It exhibits a dark ruby purple color as well as a moderately intense nose of black fruits, licorice, spice, pepper, and smoke. Displaying moderate tannin with exceptional concentration, it will benefit from 1 2 years of cellaring. It is one of those rare Liracs that will age for 10 15 years.
