Score 17.5/20 · Drink 2010-2023, Jancis Robinson MW, Dec 2015

Magnum. Mid ruby. Lightly gamey/animal on the nose (that's Mourvèdre for you!). Smoky, black olives (honest – not just the Provençal connection). Very sweet and round. Great joy to taste a mature vintage of this famously tight, concentrated wine. Very warm and tarry with masses of sweet fruit too. Lots of fun but definitely evolved. (JR)

More saturated ruby-red. Cassis, black cherry, violet, chocolate and mint on the nose; by far the ripest of these three special cuvees Very concentrated and tactile in the mouth; clearly the sweetest and largest-scaled of these special cuvees Totally primal and almost painfully intense, with spicy, inky black cherry flavor. Still, a bit dry on the peppery finish.
