Tasting Notes

90-92
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 09
(50% new oak; 80% whole clusters) Good full red. Sappy aromas of ripe black cherry, licorice and fresh herbs. Fruity but closed and dominated by its strong structure, offering less charm and personality today than the Clos du Roi. Rather austere flavors of black cherry, licorice and menthol. Finishes with serious, oak-driven tannins. This is tough going today.
