Chapoutier, Ermitage Greffieux Vintage:2018 The Vignarionda in Serralunga d'AlbaVivid purple. Mineral and smoke accented blackberry and blueberry on the intensely perfumed nose and in the mouth. Lush but energetic, with a peppery nuance adding bite and a sexy floral note building in the glass. Gains weight and structure with air and finishes with outstanding power and focus, on a lingering candied violet note.
