Tuesday, June 27, 2017 - Winos' excellent adventure in France; 6/22/2017-6/27/2017 (All over France): Regular barrel – Expressive nose displaying rich black fruit, black cherry, blackberry liqueur, ink, licorice, liquid smoke and espresso bean. Excellent concentration, beautifully layered intense black fruits, quite dense yet pure and airy, bright acidity, noticeable fine tannins and a long intense black fruit driven finish. More black fruit and a bit more structured than the second barrel. 98 pts.

Steamed barrel – Rounder nose displaying rich red fruits, raspberry, Chambord, red cherry, a hint of blackberry, rose and mineral. Excellent concentration, rich, warm, round, subtle acidity, good mineral presence and a long warm red fruit driven finish. This seems a bit softer and rounder with more red fruits. 97 pts.
