red-ruby. Superripe, rather wild aromas of violet, game, woodsmoke,
chocolate, bacon fat and truffley underbrush; reminded me a bit of
Cote-Rotie. Big, rich, tactile and deep, showing both a superripe
character and slightly medicinal acidity to the flavors of dark berries,
chocolate and smoky minerality. Has the balance of a big Bordeaux.
Very rich but energetic wine with superb depth of flavor and substantial, fully
ripe tannins. This is way beyond the 2011 in dimension and seems built for
a long life in bottle. According to Pitiot, most of the components of this
wine were picked with potential alcohol in the range of 13.6% to 13.8%.'' class=Apple-converted-space> style="FONT-SIZE: 20px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; FONT-FAMILY: NewsGothicBT-BoldCondensed; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; FONT-STYLE: normal; PADDING-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; ORPHANS: 2; WIDOWS: 2; LETTER-SPACING: 1px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-stretch: inherit">STEPHEN
