Once again there is a hint of reduction that isn’t enough to overshadow the ripe aromas of spice, earth and wood but it does reduce their expressiveness. The mouth feel of the medium weight flavors is unusually refined in the context of what is typical for Cazetiers, indeed it’s even elegant though the supporting structure is quite firm. This is really quite pretty and offers fine quality though I wouldn’t describe it as a typical example. 92/2028+
