Tasting Notes

90
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 15
Blueberry and a hint of stewed raspberry on the nose. Fat, full, sweet and powerful but a bit warm, with its substantial baby fat currently blocking the wine's expression of terroir. The raspberry and underbrush flavors are a bit roasted and undifferentiated. Finishes with substantial broad, dusty tannins. This is 13.5% alcohol with a reasonable pH of 3.35, according to Clavelier, but still strikes me as a bit extreme, with less tension than the other 2012s I tasted at this address.
