Parker: "This property used to be owned by Stephan Asseo, a former St.-Emilion resident now living in Paso Robles and making the wines of L'Aventure. The 2009, a blend of 70% Meriot and the rest the two Cabernets, exhibits an opaque ruby/purple color and an elegant nose suggesting a confiture of red and black fruits, spice box, licorice, and a hint of mint. It is lush, rich in fruit, and a delicious wine to drink now and over the next 5-6 years. This wine, which is now made under consultation with
Stephane Derenoncourt, docks in at 14.7 % natural alcohol. (Tasted three times.)"
"I hope readers will take a serious look at many of the less prestiqious appellations and wines from those areas as they will no doubt represent fabulous barqains in 2009. Given the overall style of the 2009s, which combine creamy, voluptuous textures and sensational fruit-driven opulence with remarkable finesse, precision, purity, and vibrancy, the best of the "little" wines will be delicious young, as will many of the classified-growths. This is a magical vintage!"
"Readers will notes an asterisk (*) after sorne wine scores. I added this to signify when I thought a wine had the finest potential of ail the offerings I had ever tasted from that estate in nearly 32 years of barrel tasting samples in Bordeaux."
Auszeichnungen: |  88-89*Bettane: 16 16/20 Bettane Dessauve: "Le vin possède toutes les qualités d'un excellent 'petit' Bordeaux. Nez profond de myrtille avec des accents d'épices et de menthe sauvage, la bouche offre des tanins juteux et suaves d'une grande gourmandise. C'est l'une des réussites les plus brillantes de sa catégorie." WS: 87-90 87-90 James Suckling - Wine Spectaor: "Blackberry skin and currant on the nose. Medium-bodied, with sultanas, fine tannins and a clean, fruity finish." |
