2006 Domaine de la Mordoree Lirac Cuvee de la Reine des Bois

Wine Spectactor (WS)

Very pure and focused, with dark currant and fig fruit held in check for now by a layer of suave, dark toast. Notes of espresso, mineral and aged tobacco flitter through the finish, but this needs time to unwind. Best from 2009 through 2013. 3,330 cases made. –JM
