2013 noir - 91 pts from Vinous
Inky purple. Smoke- and spice-accented blackberry and cherry aromas show very good clarity and pick up a smoky element with air. Smooth, sweet and fleshy, offering pliant dark berry and spicecake flavors sharpened by a peppery nuance. Closes silky and quite long, displaying lingering spiciness and very subtle tannins.
