the Betz 2009 Clos de Betz is virtually as low-toned as its 2010 counterpart

and a touch of graphite

Corralejo Tequila Reposado (750ml) Richey the Betz 2009 Clos deDelicate fragrances of pine needle and green olive greet the olfactory sense in the first two minutes of sniffing; additional air contact unleashes peppercorn, brine, fennel, lead pencil, and a faint hint of honey. Palate entry shows dry, astringent tastes of agave, hemp and resin followed at midpalate by integrated flavors of light caramel, cream, metal and milk chocolate. Finishes sweet, soft, and pleasingly vegetal. Wine Enthusiast 95 points
