Tasting Notes

92
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 12
(from a yield of 28 hectoliters per hectare, according to Frederic Esmonin): Good dark red. Pure aromas of blackberry, cherry, white pepper and flowers, plus a whiff of menthol. Juicy, sappy and energetic, showing more personality--and density--today than the Lavaux. Rich and intensely flavored but still youthfully tight. Finishes brisk and long.
