Fieuzal Vintage:2004 earthy and somewhat rustic flavors

earthy and somewhat rustic flavors that pack plenty of punch and admirable concentration

(aged in 70% new oak for 18 months)

Sweet and penetrating on the palate

Note that this well-made effort is going to require at least a few years of patience first

This bone dry effort is beautifully well-balanced and because of the abundant extract it will be approachable young yet probably require at least a decade to arrive at its full apogee

Fieuzal Vintage:2004 earthy and somewhat rustic flavorsVery earthy and barnyardy. Full bodied, with soft tannins and a plummy, tomato aftertaste. A disappointment; this wine did not turn out as I had hoped. 1989 Bordeaux horizontal. Drink now. JS
