Score 92/100 · Drink 2021-2030, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Jul 2019
Based on 100-year-old Carignan, the 2016 Corbieres Boutenac la Forge features smoky, herbal and green peppercorn aromas. It's full-bodied, rich, concentrated and intense, combining a hard, greenish streak with ripe raspberries and blackberries (the remainder of the blend is Syrah). Give it 2-3 years to mellow, and drink it over the next decade.
