- Noël Ramonet told me that the reds were bottled right before and just after the harvest except for the Clos de la Boudriotte, which was unavailable to be tasted at the time of my late February visit. (Diageo Château and Estate, New York, NY). The wood is more subtle here with ripe, rich, pungent aromas of earth and exotic fruit notes that lead to even bigger, more robust flavors underpinned by edgy but ripe acidity and a firm, very dry finish. This is almost rough and tumble in style and while it's no paragon of finesse, it delivers plenty of punch plus a pronounced finishing minerality that is most attractive.
