Tasting Notes
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 93 | |
| Big, rich and muscular yet this offers excellent definition with explosive fruit trimmed in obvious anise notes and luxuriant, sappy, dense flavors of uncommon depth and complexity. The finish is rather linear presently yet offers wave after wave of mouthwatering extract, all beautifully framed by more than sufficient buffering acidity. A Bātard worthy of the name and a great success for the vintage. | |
| Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 92 | |
| Highly perfumed aromas of peach, nut oil and spring flowers. Thick and sappy, with youthfully clenched but highly concentrated fruit framed by harmonious acidity. Fat and creamy, but the wine's 2.2 grams per liter of residual sugar are well buffered by its firm minerality. Finishes chewy and long, with a distinct saline character. Showing well considering the recent bottling. |
