2018 noir — 93 pts from Wine Enthu­si­ast- Cel­lar Selection

Aro­mas of dark berry, white pep­per, vio­let pastis and rich bak­ing spice on warm pas­try arise from the nose of this bot­tling, which includes 14% Counoise. It’s full throat­ed on the palate, loaded with black­ber­ry pie, mace and wood spice. The palate con­tin­ues to open with air. Drink now through 2033. 93 pts
