Tasting notes
(this was bottled in March of 2013, just two months after the malolactic fermentation finished): Bright ruby-red. Wild, very ripe aromas and flavors of black raspberry and game. Good intensity and texture, with slightly peppery acidity enlivening the middle palate. Finishes with serious tannins and a lingering herbal quality. This was totally destemmed, as Nicolas Groffier did not think the stems were ripe enough in 2011. He compares the family's 2011s to its '97s and its 2012s to its '02s.
