Good definition here and nicely focused
delicious and vibrant middleweight flavors possess solid density as well as an appealing mouthfeel while displaying good if not genuinely special persistence on the balanced if slightly rustic finish that is firm enough to warrant 5 to 8 years of cellaring
the 165ème isn't as powerful or fleshy as the 167ème Édition

The barely middleweight flavors are also on the lighter side but with better punch and notably better depth on the lingering and slightly more structured finale
Yvon Metras, Fleurie Size:6x1.5L Good definition here and nicelyOne's milage can vary significantly when aging Yvon Mtras' wines, but from my cellar, the 2017 Fleurie is performing quite well, even if I preferred it a few years ago. Exhibiting aromas of rose petals, cherry pits, smoked meats and spices, it's medium to full bodied, sweet and fleshy, with powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish and a touch of spritzy residual carbon dioxide.
