Description
TASTING NOTE: A ripe green fruit nose possesses nuances of mineral reduction and citrus hints that are also picked up by the big, powerful and substantially-scaled flavors that carry plenty of weight but not at the expense of solid balance and surprisingly good detail. In fact, somewhat curiously given the predominant style of the vintage, this is actually a bit more refined than usual as it offers a suave mouth feel, which is doubly odd for Bougros. Drink from 2016+. Score: 92 (Allen Meadows, burghound.com, Oct. 2011)

Tasting Notes
A background application of wood surrounds notably phenolic elements (think olive oil nuances) together with aromas of both white and yellow orchard fruit that are nuanced by iodine and sea breeze wisps. I very much like the intensity of the solidly constituted medium weight plus flavors that deliver excellent length on the rustic, bold and muscular finish. This is still a bit raw but the underlying material is impressive. Drink: 2026+. Score - 90-93. (Allen Meadows, burghound.com, Oct. 10, 2019)
