Tasting Notes

87-90
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 04
Complex, musky aromas of peach, flowers and spicy oak; pure and sexy. Then sweet and smooth, if rather exotic for this cuvee From very ripe grapes that were not affected by hail or frost, according to Boillot. Finishes firm, even a bit tight, with sound acids and underlying minerality.
