Domaine Laroque D'Antan
Nigrine, 2020

 

IGP Côtes du Lot

€59.50

750ml Bottle

"Incredibly perfumed, dried herbs, garrigue, dark cherry, stewed plums, game meat, damp earth and brambles. Wonderful stuff. Satiny textured, supple and dark fruited to taste, loaded with dark fruits, spice, herbs, flush with bright, blood orange acidity and shaped with a web of lacy tannin that gently brings a pucker to the palate. A compelling, deep, dark and detailed wine. It feels destined for deepest, finest glassware and a long, contemplative drink.
Fantastic." 94 points, Mike Bennie, The Winefront
