Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 17
(Moreau has just a single one-year-old barrel of this juice, which he plans to bottle in magnums directly from the cask; the owner pulled up these vines after the 2015 harvest): Slightly hazy yellow. Subtle aromas of very ripe stone fruits and smoke. Rich, ripe and sweet, with its pear, apricot and yellow peach flavors showing an obvious oakiness. At 13.2% alcohol, this wine conveys a somewhat exotic aspect. Finishes powerful and long, with a chewy phenolic character.
