91-93 ST.
"(a new wine, representing the best fruit from Chapoutier's 35-year-old vines in this lieu-dit) Ruby-red. Black raspberry, smoke and spice on the slightly reduced nose. Dense, fat and seamless, with very rich flavors of raw currant, gunsmoke and game. This has compelling mouth feel. Finishes with noble, lush tannins." Vinous, Jan 2003 |
