Note di degustazione
Bright dark red. Slightly reduced, youthfully medicinal aromas of black cherry, licorice and minerals. Surprisingly rich and sweet on the palate if a bit reduced, offering rather soft, pliant flavors of black cherry, dark berries, menthol and minerals. Finishes with plush, horizontal tannins and very good length. Quite plush in the style of 2015 but I wanted a bit more structure and reserve. Still a bit reduced.

The Lavaux Saint-Jacques is a step up in quality from the Cazetieres … it has the full 2015 magic. In the nose layers of decadently rich red fruit – juicy, detailed and vibrant offering a nice transparent view to the terroir. On the palate very energetic fruit .. sexy and very generous with tremendous depth and refinement. It’s a exuberant wine – offering so much delicate and decadent fruit – and still offering a vibrant freshness and a lovely energy. Truly magnificent. Jun 2016, www.winehog.org
A distinctly earthy, cool and ripe nose flashes notes of red and black cherries nuanced by hints of smoke, the sauvage and crushed herb. Interestingly, the powerful and very serious middle weight flavors are relatively refined thanks to the dense but fine-grained tannins that shape the punchy, intense and stony finish that is presently youthfully austere. This is also built-to-age and is going to need it. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
