Tasting Notes

90-92
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 01
Ruby-red. Deep aromas of black raspberry, roasted oak and chocolatey torrefaction. Plush and fat, with lovely sweetness leavened by well-integrated acidity. Strong suggestion of cocoa powder. This wine has a sweetness totally different from most of the other Jadot '99s: it comes to Jadot in all new barrels, and is immediately transferred into older oak. Finishes with dusty tannins and very good persistence.
