88-91 points | Burghound, Allen Meadows
Surprisingly for a Ponsot wine, generous wood and menthol is present on the interesting nose that blends both upper and lower register aromas together that include the essence of red cherry and lavender that contrasts with plenty of spice elements. The rich and once again caressing medium-bodied flavors possess a lovely sense of vibrancy before concluding in a, again surprisingly so, toasty finish that offers acceptable but not better length along with a touch of dryness. An odd wine that is, stylistically speaking, decidedly not very Ponsot-like.
