Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 13
Medium red. Expressive perfume of small wild red berries, smoke and minerals. Silky on entry, then tight in the middle, with a youthfully medicinal quality to the flavors of cherry, berries and crushed stone. Really builds and broadens toward the back end, finishing chewy and sappy, with palate-saturating ripe tannins and an impression of salty minerality. Arnaud Mortet believes the 2010s here have more potential than the 2005s, as he is doing a softer extraction nowadays.
