Philippe le Hardi – La Comme 2020 – Santenay 1er Cru

The nose is spicy and offers some power as well as some intensity. It reveals notes of clove, pulpy/juicy blackcurrant, plum, and more slightly – spices associated with touches of fresh blond tobacco and a discreet hint of pepper. The palate is nicely fresh, mineral, and balanced and offers a mineral frame, juiciness and acidity. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of fresh/tangy blackcurrant, tangy plum, and slight hints of violet associated with touches of blueberry as well as hints of salinity, racy minerality, cloves, fresh leather, a subtle hint of fresh pepper and a very discreet hint of iris. The tannins are finely tight.
