Domaine Thierry Mortet Maranges La Fussiere Premier Cru 2016 Review
Forest floor greets you as you take aromas of cinnamon and clove with a tinge of coconut and caraway. As it opens a bit there are subtle notes of tea and leather, even a whisper of rose petals. The tannin frames the palate with a core of playful acidity not letting the wine gain too much weight. It is evolving.
