93-96 ST. "Dark, bright red. Deep aromas of raspberry, smoke and rose petal. Silky, sweet and utterly seamless; perfectly harmonious from the start ("very Zen," says Fourrier). Wonderfully perfumed raspberry and floral flavors carry through the rising, palate-saturating finish, which features outstanding crushed-stone lift. This is 2010-like in its balance of fruit intensity and piquant minerality. Fourrier told me he was the first to pick among the five owners of Clos Saint-Jacques in 2013, bringing in his fruit on October 4." Vinous, Jan 2015 |
