Tasting Notes

91
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 10
Bright ruby-red. Reticent aromas of black raspberry and cocoa powder, with a piquant note of cassis bud. Denser than the Evocelles but even more tightly wound and less sweet today. This rather powerful, minerally wine is hiding its sweetness today but holds out considerable promise. Finishes with serious tannins. Always tough in the early going, notes Dugat, who suggests giving this two or three hours in a carafe if you plan to pop a cork anytime soon.
