Tasting Notes

88-90
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 14
(20% new oak): Bright medium red. Musky aromas of raspberry and crushed rock reminded me of Chambolle. Dense, sweet, fine-grained and lively, showing very good stuffing to its sappy red berry fruit, with energetic calcaire support. Finishes juicy, fresh and persistent, with an impression of gentle extraction.
