Critic Reviews
Wet earth and brambleberry aromas with hints of walnuts and Chinese tea. Full-bodied, tannic and powerful. Layers of fruit. Needs at least six to seven years to open. Better in 2024.
The flagship, super-concentrated, garagiste-like effort from the huge Dourthe firm, this 2009 is made from their best generic fruit and given a lot of flashy oak and extract. The result is a wine that transcends its humble appellation. This big, deep, chewy wine will benefit from several more years of cellaring and keep for at least a decade.(89+ points)
