2009 Walter Hansel Pinot Noir Cuvee Alyce

ロバート・パーカー93-95ポイント：
"The limited production 2009 Pinot Noir Cuvee Alyce comes from a totally dry-farmed vineyard planted with Dijon clones 115, 777 and 112 that had tiny yields of one ton of fruit per acre in 2009. These heavy clay soils produced a deep, rich, full-bodied Pinot with the deepest color saturation (dense ruby/purple) of any of these Pinots. The wine also possesses admirable fruit intensity and abundant notes of black currants, black cherries, raspberries, licorice and flowers. The oak is well-concealed and the wine is full-bodied, impressively endowed and potentially one of the finest Pinot Noirs Stephen Hansel has ever made. It should age effortlessly for a decade or more. " (Wine Advocate #193 Feb 2011)
 

93 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar:

"Deep ruby-red. Deep, pungent aromas of black raspberry, cherry-cola, vanilla bean and potpourri. Sappy, palate-coating red and dark berry compote flavors are complicated by an exotic floral pastille quality and hints of clove and mocha. A distinctly rich and fleshy but energetic pinot, with the depth and structure to age. The finish hangs on with noteworthy tenacity and grip." (5/ 2011)
