93 ST. "Clove, wet stone and smoke on the nose, with primary fruit in the background. Ripe, broad and rich, conveying an impression of greater density but lower acidity than the Clos Saint-Jean. But plenty lively on the broad, very long finish, which throws off notes of lemon zest and minerals. In early June, I found this much more vibrant and precise than the 2005, even though Niellon pointed out that the two vintages possesses similar levels of acidity." Vinous, Sep 2006 |
