Antoine Jobard, Meursault Poruzots

Antoine Jobard, Meursault Poruzots(from a parcel measuring . 78 ha that is on the Genevrires side). This is aromatically less refined but more complex with its pungent nose of hazelnut, green fruit, pear and just a hint of wood. There is excellent volume to the extract rich, powerful and solidly well concentrated medium weight flavors that possess excellent persistence on the impeccably balanced finish. This is still very tight and may require up to a decade to fully mature. 93 2018+

The nose of blackberry

Maybe this just has the edge over the Meyney

but the finesse and precision here surpasses all the preceding vintages

full and palate saturating flavors that deliver ample power and outstanding intensity and persistence

Bodegas Fernando Remirez de Ganuza is one of Rioja’s benchmark estates

The very rich and generously proportioned medium weight flavors possess a succulent mid-palate that contrasts somewhat with the textured and lingering finish where the supporting tannins are a bit raspy

Aromatically reserved

The old vines definitely are in evidence and this too is highly recommended

and plenty of tannin lurking behind the cascade of fruit

This stunning wine is one of the best expressions of Merlot I've ever tasted that did not come from Pomerol

The rich and relatively full-bodied flavors possess excellent complexity as well as focused power on the compact and youthfully austere yet impressive persistent finale

This is definitely atypical but the intrinsic class of a fine Caillerets is still present
