Lao Muse 2015 : 95 – Jeb Dunnuck

«A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah that spent 18 months in 1-year-old Smith Haut Lafitte barrels, the 2015 Vacqueyras Lao Muse sports a deep ruby/purple-tinged color as well as a huge nose of plums, melted licorice, chocolate, spices and roasted garrigue. Uber ripe (we're getting close to overripe), sexy and opulent, with low acidity and ripe tannin, drink this big, rich, decadent beauty through 2025. 95/100. »
