Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 15
Bright, dark red. Complex but reticent nose offers lovely lift to the aromas of raspberry, redcurrant, iron, minerals and medicinal herbs. Dense and sweet but a bit shaken up today and not as explosive as the Charmes. But this wine's sappy tautness reminded me of a 2010. Most impressive on the juicy whiplash of a finish, which leaves behind an unflagging perfume. Serious aging potential here.
