2016 Clos de la Tech, Domaine Lois Louise 'Cote Sud' 375ml Half Bottles   

An excellent Pinot Noir with great aging potential (****+). Very ripe (cherry, cassis, plum jam, red licorice), with supporting toasty, spicy character; youthful, but open and accessible. The palate is fleshy and full bodied, with evident richness. It is quite long on the palate, well balanced, and very persistent in the finish, with moderate tannin. Surprisingly drinkable this early for Cote Sud. Likely to be at its best between 2024 and 2028.”
