"(Vinified with one-third whole clusters.) Deep ruby-red. Brooding black fruits, licorice and minerals on the nose and palate. Dense, sweet and chewy, with an impression of brooding power and spine that reminded me of an example from the southern Cote de Nuits. A strong licorice flavor and bracing acids give this excellent grip." Vinous, Mar 2008 |
