Tasting Notes

94-96
Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Jan 14
The 2012 Richebourg towers on the palate with huge tannins and almost a severe expression of structure. There is gorgeous depth and brightness in the fruit, but the tannins are searing in their intensity. Still, there is a crystalline purity to the flavors here that is totally compelling. I can't imagine the 2012 drinking well before its 15th birthday, and even that is likely to be optimistic.

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 14
Bright dark red with ruby highlights. Pure, multidimensional nose combines raspberry, licorice, mint, menthol, rose petal and crushed rock. Boasts compelling concentration and sappy tension, showing superb thickness in the context of this collection. A piquant note of blood orange perks up the fruit on the extremely long and subtle back end. More discreet than the Cros Parantoux today and still an infant.
