Tasting Notes

**Note: from a .75 ha parcel**
Here the nose was completely reduced though there was good freshness and punch to the imposingly sized and quite muscular flavors that possess plenty of that gamy character that Renardes is so justly known for. There is fine mid-palate concentration and the same level of ripe phenolic maturity to the robust tannins that are very well-buffered by the abundant dry extract on the mouth coating finish. A classic Renardes.

Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (46), April 2012

Black cherry, blackberry, black plum and nutmeg on the nose. Seductive and brooding power here - as well as some floral notes. Power, purity and balance on the palate from start to finish. Soft and sweet cherry fruit, silky texture and layers of black fruit and spice follow through. The sweet spice rises on the finish to manage the concentration and power of the fresh berries on show. Good bite and structure from the acidity and tannin makes this a long-term wine.
