Score 84-87/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jan 2016

(Bouchard own 1. 4 hectare on a steep slope rich in limestone): Bright ruby-red. Aromas of dark berry liqueur and exotic spices show a touch of raisiny ripeness. In a distinctly sun-drenched style; quite concentrated but betrays a slight alcoholic bitterness. Finishes with flavors of dried fruits and clove and slightly parching tannins. Not for me.

Score 91/100 · Allen Meadows, Burghound

Here the wood treatment is sufficiently strong that it stops only just short of dominating the ripe, fresh and airy mix of rose petal, red currant and soft spice aromas. There is a lovely mouth feel and better than average detail to the utterly delicious and caressing medium weight flavors that exhibit a subtle minerality on the sleek, dusty and complex finale that is both balanced and impressively persistent. Worth checking out and note that my rating assumes that the wood will be integrated in time. Apr 2016, www.burghound.com, Drink: 2022+
