Product Information: In a portfolio tasting, Etiénne usually offers this wine as the last of the 1er Crus, a testament to its size, power and structure. It shows more " black" rose petal [from Nan's garden] characteristic, more structure and more dark fruits. Etiénne says you can drink this alone, but it has enough volume and energy to accompany a wide range of foods. From 70+ year old vines: An exuberantly spicy mix of red and black berry fruits nuanced by touches of earth, herb and an interesting gamy quality highlights supple yet precise medium weight flavors that seem relatively approachable then suddenly tighten up on the firm, moderately structured finish and impressively long finish. If this adds weight with bottle age, it should merit the upper end of the range. Drink 2012+. Tanzer Review: Good mediumdeep red. Wild berries, meat, leather and mocha on the somewhat reduced nose. Rich and broad but less obviously open and sweet than the Roncieres. Blacker in fruit character, with some complicating herbal nuances but a bit less verve today than the Roncieres. This needs at least two years of patience and at the moment it appears to rely more on its tannins than on its acids for balance. Other Notes: An exuberantly spicy mix of red and black berry fruits nuanced by touches of earth, herb and an interesting gamy quality highlights supple yet precise medium weight flavors that seem relatively approachable then suddenly tighten up on the firm, moderately structured finish and impressively long finish. If this adds weight with bottle age, it should merit the upper end of the range. Burghound | ||||
