96 RP. “. . . it has now completely shut down . . . . saturated dense ruby/purple color is followed by a tight-fisted nose and flavors of black fruits, underbrush, minerals, smoke, and new oak. Although extremely concentrated, the wine is broodingly backward, and not fun to drink ... yet. This loaded effort should prove to be one of the longest-lived red Burgundies made in the last twenty years." Robert M. Parker, Jr., Wine Advocate #E2002, Jan 2002 |
