Impressive complexity on the nose

Give it another year or two to flesh out

Soft wood surrounds the spicy floral and cool essence of red berries along with hints of earth and underbrush

and overripe Nebbiolo characteristics provide remarkable intensity

Marc Delienne, Fleurie Abbaye Road Size:6x1.5L Impressive complexity on the noseThe 2015 Fleurie Abbaye Road is superb, bursting with scents of creamy black cherries, grilled meat, dried rose petals and wood smoke. On the palate, it's full bodied, layered and complete, with a multidimensional core, considerable concentration and remarkable energy despite its rich, atypically powerful profile. When I first encountered this wine, shortly after release, it showed a touch of volatile acidity that was imperceptible in these bottles.
