Description:

Good deep red. Distinctly wilder on the nose than the Clos de la Bousse d'Or, offering scents of darker berries, licorice, violet, mocha and wild herbs. Dense, sappy and rich, with a classic dryness and noteworthy power to the lightly saline flavors of black cherry and spices. Finishes firmly tannic, energetic and quite long. -- Vinous/Stephen Tanzer 92
