2007 Francois & Denis Clair Santenay 1er Cru Clos de Tavannes - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Santenay 1er Cru (9/7/2013)
Picked up for less than 40 bucks a few years ago, opened to accompany roast chicken. Medium ruby color. Nose of forest floor, licorice, raspberry, florals, a whiff of wood. Tangy and fruit forward on the attack with late arrival of anise, red raspberry, earth, and iron on each sip. Very nice balance of freshening acidity and grippy tannins, leading to a delicious finish of red sap and stoniness. Quite nuanced and interesting already, with lots of time to develop further. (91 pts.)
