Tasting Notes

93
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 99
Deep ruby-red. Violet and licorice on the nose. Wonderful sweetness and lushness on entry, then explosively fruity in the middle, with a suggestion of exotic fruits. Like the last two samples, this shows uncanny inner-mouth perfume. Very long, very subtle aftertaste. Tasted alongside the '97, this showed the brighter acidity and stronger thrust of the '96 vintage. These Roty grand crus should be extremely long-lived.
