Scores + Notes
Tasted blind at the Southward 2012 tasting, the 2012 Ferriere came across as a little green on the nose, pinched at first and never really mustering requisite fruit intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with "stringy" tannins, earthy red fruit and a slightly attenuated finish. I harbored modest expectations from this Ferriere out of barrel, but on this occasion I felt it just lacked a bit of vigor. Tasted January 2016. Oct 2016, www.robertparker.com
