The 2006 Fumin Vigne La Tour opens with scents of roasted coffee beans, sweet herbs, wild cherries and earthiness that are woven together gracefully on the palate. This eloquent, expressive wine reveals tons of pure breed in a medium-bodied style. The finish is long, pure and beautifully articulated. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2021. From top to bottom this is a superb set of wines from Les Cretes that form essential drinking for readers who want to learn more about the wines of Valle d’Aosta.Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel.
