92-94 ST.
"(Just three barrels; includes some Clos de Bèze.) Deep red. Superripe aromas of cherry, rose petal and caramel. Silky-sweet and a bit high-toned, with a sappy spice character to the superripe, intense red fruit flavors. This really saturates the palate and yet it comes across as a bit stunted today, even youthfully aggressive. Finishes silky and suave, though." Vinous, Mar 2008 |
