| Tasting note |
There is enough reduction present to push the underlying fruit to the background and render the nose difficult to assess. Otherwise there is an opulent mouth feel to the impressively concentrated middle weight flavors that exhibit plenty of minerality on the sleek, intense and palate coating finale. Note that my score offers the benefit of the doubt that the reduction will dissipate with a few years of bottle age. By Allen Meadows, Apr 2016.
This is flashy, displaying plenty of toasty oak, with an underlying flavor of black cherry. Gains richness and silkiness with air, staying long on the finish. By Wine Spectator.
Bright, dark red. Wild, reduced, very ripe aromas of raspberry, redcurrant, smoked meat, animal fur and chocolate. Sweet and round but with a continuing reductive quality keeping the middle palate closed today. Darker fruits here but with a bit of the sour edge shown by the village wine. Finishes with slightly edgy tannins. By Stephen Tanzer @ Vinous, Jan 2016.
