The 2015 Marsannay L'Ancestrale has a voluminous bouquet with layer upon layer of blackberry, mulberry, hoisin and pastille-like aromas, just a hint of peppermint emerging with aeration and later a hint of fresh fig that lends a touch of exoticism. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, fine acidity, very well balanced with great depth and vigor on the finish that seems...effortless.
