Tasting Notes

91-94
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 18
(50% new oak): Bright red-ruby. Aromas of black fruits and espresso torrefaction show an element of reduction that Tremblay believes is due to the new oak element. Dense, sweet and sappy, conveying lovely definition and vivacity to its flavors of black raspberry, crushed rock and blood orange. At once creamy and slightly dusty, this uncompromisingly dry wine is a bit youthfully disjointed today but boasts terrific energy. Finishes very long, with refined tannins.
