( from a tiny .18 ha parcel). A positively kaleidoscopic explosion of aromas with a heady scope of spice and various red, blue and black fruit characters precedes the cool, pure and lacy middle weight flavors that possess superb detail and incredible finesse on the understated yet hugely persistent finish. This is one very classy effort and as good as the Malconsorts is, this is simply at another level. This isn't an especially big or powerful effort but it is so beautifully focused that it comes across as very Zen. An exceptionally impressive effort. Score: 93 - 95 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2021+ 14 January 2013 |

Good full red. Superripe, musky aromas of strawberry liqueur, roasted meat and smoky, stony minerality. Like a liquid confection in the mouth; thick and highly concentrated yet somehow lively and delineated, with terrific minerality and verve to its explosive flavors of sappy crushed berries and crushed rock. This impressively opulent and very ripe grand cru finishes extremely minerally and very long, with terrific grip and ineffable building perfume. Score: 93 - 96 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com Maturity: 1/1/13 01 January 2013 |
