2016 Domaine Francois Lamarche, Premier Cru, Les Malconsorts, Bottle (750ml)

BH94 "A whiff of wood sets off an elegant mix of red currant, lavender, Asian-style tea, herbal tea and rose petal scents. As is usually the case there is excellent size, weight and power to the mineral-driven flavors that exhibit superb intensity that builds from the mid-palate before culminating in a wonderfully persistent if youthfully austere finish. This is a big, powerful and very serious effort that will age effortlessly for several decades." AM for BH
