89-92 ST. "(An assemblage of [declassified] Premier Cru lots): Bright red-ruby. Wild dark berries, bitter chocolate, leather and menthol on the nose, lifted by a floral nuance. Sappy and sweet on the palate, with lovely thrust to the dark fruit flavors. More minerally and floral than saline. Finishes with suave, fine-grained tannins and lovely energy and length. Should make an excellent Village wine." Vinous, Jan 2012 |
