Tasting Notes

90-92
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 17
Good medium red. Wild if closed nose conveys medicinal and minty quality. Concentrated, dry and saline; slightly hard-edged and less classy than most of the foregoing crus. Boasts excellent energy and subtle persistence but the tannins are a bit chunky, even dry-edged, in the early going. This will need time in bottle to expand.
