Tasted On 05/27/2011

Deep ruby. A highly aromatic bouquet of black raspberry, licorice, smoky Indian spices and dark chocolate.

Rostaing told me that about 20% of this blend comes from the prime La Vialliere vineyard. ST

A flawed bottle may be affected by cork taint, heat (maderized), oxidation, or excessive sulfur. Additionally, some people consider wines tainted by Brettanomyces (Brett), a non-spore forming genus of yeast, a flaw although there is much controversy surrounding the subject.
