94 AM. "25% whole cluster fermentation aged in 100% new wood; Boillot said the fruit wasn't picked until October. A fascinating combination of very ripe yet very fresh fruit that runs to raspberry liqueur aromas dovetailing nicely into the exceptionally rich, full and robust flavors that are very firmly structured yet the mid-palate sap is such that the tannins appear buried on the dusty and moderately austere finish. This is an extremely ripe wine yet it remains harmonious and balanced. Impressive." Burghound.com, Apr 01, 2007 |
