Rated vintages

  • 201587 pts

    This wood-aged wine is seriously rich and powerful, with some bitterness from extraction. Dark chocolate flavors and firm tannins dominate it now; the fruit is there, but submerged. Give it until 2020 before opening.

    From an 88-acre vineyard in the heart of the Bourg appellation, this is a bold, spicy wine. Its wood aging tends to dominate the fruit and the touch of pepper from the alcohol gives the wine a bite on the palate. Some of this character will soften over time, so wait until 2018.

  • 201289 pts

    Dark in color, this is a bold, spicy wine. It has firm tannins that contrast well with the dense black fruits and acidity. The combination makes for a wine that promises to age well—rich and with a fine smoky aftertaste. Drink from 2019.
