“Dark glistening red. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red and dark berries, baking spices, garrigue
and candied flowers, and a smoky mineral flourish appears as the wine opens up. Sappy, sweet and
penetrating on the palate, offering juicy black raspberry, cherry and lavender pastille flavors joined by
hints of allspice and bitter chocolate. Smooth and seamless in texture, showing superb finishing clarity,
gently gripping tannins and strong, spicy persistence. This is a somewhat more brawny wine than usual
for Laurent Charvin, but it still retains the domaine’s trademark balance and energy.” 96pts Vinous
