and dense blackberry and cassis fruit

backed by a hint of olive

As Christian Seely quipped

I also tasted Conterno’s first wines from his newly-acquired vineyard in Cerretta

It was produced in 2008

Joseph Roty, Mazis Chambertin Vintage:2012 and dense blackberry and cassis(from Mazis Bas). A big step up in aromatic elegance and complexity and while the toast is not subtle, neither is it really intrusive though it continues onto the punchy, powerful and rugged medium full flavors that culminate in a dusty, rich, mouth coating and extremely long finish. This is distinctly sauvage in character with moderate toast, which should integrate though it wouldnt surprise if there wasnt always a residual influence, even with time
