Score 94/100 · Drink 2021-2030, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Apr 2019
Still showing a bit of toasty cedar, the 2017 Côtes du Roussillon Villages le Clos des Fées is otherwise a monument to concentration. Inky in hue, with bold aromas of boysenberry fruit, this blend of 50% Syrah, 20% each Carignan and Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre is nearly overwhelming in its intensity. Yes, the tannins are supple enough to make this approachable, but give it a couple of years in the cellar to resolve its focus and allow some complexity to develop. Right now, it's just embryonic and a bit monolithic as a result.
