December was cool and mild

with fine tannin and a structured finish that needs more finesse and complexity

The grapes benefited from the barren soils of Rhine slate and Taunus quartzite

chalky line that shoots through the palate—a far cry from your average South Australian Riesling

Darroze 2003 Monturon GBA 50% 700ml beaune-premier-cru December was cool and mildNice golden color with darker tints. Very interesting nose where we feel some oaky flavours like tobacco or toast but also fruity (dry fig, prune). Very complex. In the palate, the tannins are still present. The spicy flavours (pepper, liquorice) are present. Long in the palate.
