![](https://p8.secure.hostingprod.com/@site.belmontwine.com/ssl/ystore/images/spacer.gif) | Qty=1Size=1.5L, ST[94+]"(two thirds new oak; has the highest pH of these 2009s, at 3.7) Red-ruby. Knockout multidimensional nose combines red berries, licorice, orange peel and pungent smoky minerality. Dense, sappy, sweet and very young; much more about soil than pinot noir fruit. Offers intriguing saline and orange peel notes, plus a licorice quality that Hervet says comes from soil rich in silica (like Vosne-Romanee Les Geignots). Wonderfully tactile finish offers outstanding lift and some sweet new oak. This got better and better in the glass." - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (January 2011) |
