The 2005 Paleo Rosso needed time in bottle to allow the Cabernet Franc signatures to emerge

Note that this well-made effort is going to require at least a few years of patience first

Smoky mineral notes build in the glass

earth and a hint of the sauvage

Give it two or three more years in the bottle

Laurent Ponsot, Cuvee du Sorbier other_regions The 2005 Paleo Rosso needed(Mountain Ash tree; from a . 28 ha parcel). A mentholated top note is present on the cooler and more restrained nose of various red berries, cinnamon and a pretty array of floral elements. There is fine intensity to the tautly muscular larger scaled flavors that also possess excellent delineation on the sneaky long, balanced and equally tightly wound finale. This is also very good though patience is recommended as this will require time to flesh out.
