Fragrant, soft and fruity, this has weight and firm tannins, which meld with the juicy blackberry flavor. The result is a forward and ready-to-drink wine. — (3/1/2013) —89

From a vineyard managed by the Vigouroux family, Leret Monpezat’s wine is big, dry, its massive dark fruit a powerful underlay for a series of tannins. The wine’s depth is immense, powerful, a great concentration of licorice and blackberry flavors. Age for 3–4 years. ——R.V.(3/1/2010)—— 90
