Domaine Lignier-Michelot 2017 Morey-St.-Denis "Chenevery" 1er Cru 750ml

Discreet but not invisible wood and menthol influences set off the slightly riper aromas of cassis, plum, black raspberry and game. There is excellent intensity to the mineral-driven and overtly powerful middle weight plus flavors that offer excellent depth and persistence on the firmly structured finale. This gorgeously textured effort is really quite good and worth checking out provided you cellar it for at least 5 to 7 years first.
