Tasting Notes
| Robert Parker 89-91 | |
| This wine is medium-to-dark ruby-colored and exhibits dense and earthy red cherry aromatics. It is full-bodied, thickly-textured, chewy, and structured, packed with powerful freshly laid asphalt, blackberry, and charred oak flavors. Its long and well-defined finish reveals loads of powerful yet ripe tannins. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2008. This wine (note: this is the Domaine bottling, there may also be a negociant bottling) is produced from a parcel in the Rouges sector (the western-most) of this large grand cru vineyard. | |
| Wine Spectator 90 | |
| Oaky Pinot, with lots of mocha and vanilla, but the ripe fruit and cigar-tobacco complexity draw you in on the finish. Plenty of tannins, but it's round all the same. Pretty long finish. Much better than previously reviewed. Drink now through 2006. 150 cases made. ?PM |
