Vinous
(90% new oak; picked relatively late, on September 6; 12.2% potential alcohol chaptalized to 12.6%): Good dark red. Oaky aromas of raspberry, chocolate, leather and game. Quite ripe but brooding and youthfully medicinal, with a note of menthol austerity counterpointed by a sexy suggestion of white peach. Finishes with suave, fine-grained, building tannins and a repeating peach note. This fruit ripened very slowly in 2011 and it was necessary to wait to harvest, noted Nadine Gublin. Offers superb texture for pinot noir with 12.6% alcohol.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2014
