Domaine Voarick Clos Paradis Mercurey 1er Cru 2014

The vineyards of Mercurey are situated at an elevation of 230 - 320 metres and possess a notable structure and depth. This example from 2014 delivers complex suggestions of ripe berry, leather, cherry, strawberry, plum, sweet oak, vanilla, spice, smoke and mineral with a telling earthiness. Impressive from beginning to end. Elegant, firm and harmonious, this will be great tonight paired with marinated game or duck but will also reward another 5+ years in the cellar.
