Tasting Notes

88-91
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 17
(50% new oak): Bright red with ruby tones. Musky, carnal aromas of blueberry, blackberry and violet. Concentratred and sweet but with sound framing acidity. Actually a bit disjointed today but has good material. I like the wine's subtly wild gamey aspect. (Cathiard's Bourgogne Rouge similarly displays a wild quality to its black fruit, violet and licorice flavors, not to mention very good intensity, but its firm tannins will make it tough going early on.)
