Tasting Notes

90-92
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jul 01
Fascinating nose combines dried fruits, nuts, earth, smoke and a mentholated aspect. Thick, chewy and very rich; a big, distinctive wine with solid supporting acidity and a very long, oily finish. I get as much terroir as cepage character here from this splendid vineyard, which is Alsace southernmost grand cru.
