Fieuzal Vintage:2004 backward and brooding nose reluctantly

backward and brooding nose reluctantly gives up hints of very earthy dark pinot fruit nuanced by a distinct animale hint that merges into broad-shouldered flavors that offer excellent volume and concentration that finishes with just a hint of dryness and plenty of minerality

The wine represents a blend of Nebbiolo harvested from the Cannubi S

but they are delivered in a more undertone and one-dimensional manner

This is both firmly reduced and still displaying residual malolactic hints

Fieuzal Vintage:2004 backward and brooding nose reluctantlyVery 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
