Vinous
(from Les Champs Traversins, a very cool lieu-dit in the combe; aging in 60% new oak): Bright, dark red-ruby. Ineffable noble aromas of blackberry, pepper, spices, menthol and licorice are lifted by a floral topnote. Utterly seamless on the palate, with juicy, penetrating flavors of wild dark berries, violet and mint; there's a pungent cassis note here that reminded me of Cabernet. Firm, building tannins carry the fruit through a long, rising finish. The crop level here was just 17 hectoliters per hectare, according to Gublin. This classy wine will age slowly and gracefully. My favorite red wine at Domaine Prieur this year, as it often is.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2016
