Tasting Notes

93-95
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 09
Bright, deep red. Aromas of spicy redcurrant and bitter cherry come across as very ripe for this vineyard. Lush, creamy-sweet and superconcentrated, with a dominating flavor of bitter cherry and an utterly spherical shape. Wonderfully silky, harmonious wine that saturates every square millimeter of the palate. Finishes with outstanding length and elegance. This is 13.5% natural alcohol, from vines harvested on September 1, notes Saouma, and is impossibly sexy today. But the underlying limestone (like that in Montrachet, notes Saouma) gives energy to the wine.
