93-95 ST.
"Deep red. Distinctly darker on the nose than the Clos Saint-Denis, offering piquant aromas of blackberry, violet, spices, menthol and crushed stone. Pure and sappy on the palate, offering terrific inner-mouth perfume and lift to the flavors of dark fruits, licorice, violet and rose. Delivers a compelling combination of density and cut. Really titillates the taste buds on the rising, very pure back end." Vinous, Jan 2015 |
