This very firm effort is really quite good and very Cazetiers in basic character.

(89-92)/2015+

Blends richness and finesse with a deft hand and finishes incredibly long and precise

soy and anise

intense and textured flavors that are supple on the attack but firm up quickly on the complex and long finish

A brooding and inexpressive nose features a very fresh and impressively complex mélange of wild dark berries

citrus zest and soft wood make for a highly appealing nose

floral and blood orange flavors that are woven together into a fabric of total class

The 2008 Biserno shows faded primary fruit with more emphasis on dry spice

Not sure how this will age
