Tasting Notes

90-92
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 15
(a 50/50 mix of 20- and 43-year-old vines): Medium red. Ineffable high-pitched aromas of blackberry, rose petal, crushed stone and licorice. Sexy and mellow premier cru, with sappy blackberry and floral flavors already conveying strong personality. Finishes with a saline quality and sneaky length. This fruit was harvested at the end, just before the rainfall on October 9, according to Leroux.
