Tasting Notes
There is a whisper of the exotic to the riper aromas that also possess admirable purity if noticeably less elegance. The succulent, powerful and dense big-bodied flavors once again coat the palate with sappy dry extract on the balanced and harmonious finale. While this isn't an elegant wine per se (Criots rarely is), it is more refined than it usually is.

(two-thirds new oak): Bright yellow. Sweet aromas of yellow peach and spicy oak. Sweet, plush and full but not heavy, offering thick, concentrated yellow peach and oak flavors complicated by a saline quality. Finishes very broad and a bit youthfully phenolic. A fruit bomb of a Criots, from south-facing vines. Sep 2016, www.vinous.com
