avoiding heavy wines

"I cannot think of many Cabernet Sauvignons from Argentina with the elegance of this example

this wine is beautifully ripe with layers of tannins and well-judged wood aging

A couple of hours in a glass simply increased the power

With a nod to the French Huguenots settlers and after cautious study of the terroir

Domaine Ponsot Chambertin Cuvee VV 2015 Pessac Leognan avoiding heavy wines91 93 Points The Wine Advocate, Neal Martin The 2015 Chambertin Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru, from vines planted in 1961, has an extravagant bouquet with small red cherries, wild strawberry and raspberry jam, nicely defined with commendable purity. The palate is medium bodied with a ripe red cherry and strawberry drive on the entry, fine mineralit and tension with a slightly brusque but nicely detailed finish. Give this 4 5 years in bottle.
