92-95 ST.
“(Laurent told me he buys from two cousins who own the same 1926 planting and vinify in the same manner.) Ruby-red. Cool, brooding, slightly medicinal nose hints at menthol and dark chocolate. Then extremely primary and backward on the palate, with powerful black fruit, mineral and floral flavors offering terrific precision and verve. Youthful and quite forceful on the very long, pure finish.” Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr 2005 |
