Review
89 Points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
Reticent nose hints at beef jerky. Sweet and fat but closed, hinting at cured meat but showing little in the way of treble notes today. Seems a bit reduced and could use more lift. Finishes with full, broad, slightly dusty tannins and a note of liquid smoke that may be due to the fires of '08. Capiaux told me he used reverse osmosis on one of the six barrels to address the smoke issue.
