Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 14
Medium red. Captivating aromas of cherry, raspberry, blueberry and minerals, lifted by a floral topnote. The palate offers excellent cut and precision to the almost Chambolle-like red berry flavors. At once juicy and filled in, this nicely balanced village wine finishes with noteworthy length.

Mid ruby. Delicately scented. Gentle, fresh and very very fine but present tannins. Both charming and energetic as well as persistent. (JH)
