Domaine Taupenot-Merme Clos des Lambrays 2018 skus_30263217 Also ideal as aperitif andThe bottled wine actually mirrors my recollections from barrel, presenting an open knit, tertiary, cranberry and raspberry scented bouquet with plenty of damp undergrowth and autumn leaves. The palate feels slightly raw on the entry; in keeping with many 2014 reds, it is a little lean in style, built around a taut thread of acidity and sporting plenty of sour cherry and bell pepper notes toward the crunchy finish.
