Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 07
Brooding aromas of ripe peach, honey and clove. Large-scaled, round and ripe if a bit monolithic today and less fine than the Perrieres. Powerful flavors of stone fruits, spices and nut oil linger impressively on the rather tannic finish. This big boy calls for a good decade of bottle aging.
