Score 93/100 · Drink 2016-2026, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, Apr 2015

Made from 60% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and the rest a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Malbec, the 2012 Limoux knocks it out of the park with its Bordeaux-like bouquet of lead pencil shavings, toasted spice and sweet black raspberry and cassis-scented fruit. Medium to full-bodied, supple and elegant, it doesn’t lack for concentration or structure, and should age beautifully. The élevage here was 12 months in 25% new French oak and the balance in 1-3-year-old barrels. This is an estate to watch!
