Description

1 Bottle: In Barriot's 2007 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Latour de France Les Quilles Libres, wood smoke, tobacco, brown spices, soy, peanuts, and ripe red fruits mingle in the nose. On a sappy, palpably extract-rich palate, lightly cooked red raspberry and strawberry are dusted with cardamom, cinnamon, and white pepper, and underlain with toasted praline and peanuts, and there is no hint of finishing heat or roughness from the wine's nearly 15% alcohol, but rather a sense of exuberant brightness that brings you back for the next sip. Could evolve for at least 3 to 5 years in a proper cellar. WA . 91 points. 1 Bottle: A feral character overlays the pure cherry, red currant, and mineral notes in this slim, intense red. Persistent and firmly structured, with lingering fruit and spice accents on the aftertaste, the Domaine Chevillon-Chezeauz Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Bousselots 2006 just needs a few years to come together. Best from 2011 through 2020. WS. 91 points.
