Tasting Notes

89-91
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 18
(from vines between 30 and 50 years of age; vinified with 25% whole clusters and aging in 30% new oak): Very pure aromas of black cherry, dark raspberry and licorice lifted by a violet topnote. Quite ripe and intense, with captivating high-toned lift to its dense flavors of purple and black fruits, spices and violet. More pliant in the early going than the Pommard but also displays lovely delineation. Finishes persistent and suavely tannic.
