Tasting notes
Healthy red-ruby. Musky, medicinal nose is showing more menthol, minerals and dark chocolate than fruit today. Quite sappy but unforthcoming on the palate, with dark berry and violet flavors complicated by notes of iron and tobacco. Here, too, the firm tannins call for patience.

Bright red-ruby. Very cool, calcaire -driven aromas of purple fruits, violet and crushed stone. Densely packed and quite primary, with sweet dark berry and violet flavors shaped and energized by brisk acidity and a firm tannic spine. Spreads out nicely on the back end, finishing with a light touch and noteworthy refinement.
The 2014 Marsannay les Ouzeloy was showing just a touch of reduction on the nose, though the palate was showing well with sappy red berry fruit mixed with a touch of citrus fruit. This feels as if it will turn out to be a fresh, vibrant Marsannay, not immense in depth but well balanced with good density on the finish.
