Grand Cru Wine Merchants

Deep ruby-red. Fresh strawberry and raspberry on the nose, with a sexy Asian spice note gaining strength with air. A juicy, focused midweight that offers tangy red berry flavors and a hint of blood orange. This graceful, nervy wine, reportedly from vines around 120 years of age, will be delicious on release. The yield was only 23 hectoliters from this 1.8-hectare site. -90-92pts IWC
