Michel Chapoutier Bila Haut Occultum Lapidem Cotes du Roussillon 2016

Jeb Dunnuck 95 Points "A big, rich, concentrated, unctuous effort that's not for those looking for lightweight aromas and flavors, the inky colored 2016 Ctes du Roussillon Villages Latour de France Occultum Lapidem (50 Syrah, 40 Grenache, 5 Carignan and 5 Mourvdre) offers up a smorgasbord of cassis, black currants, peppery herbs and crushed violets. Rich, full-bodied and even tannic, it should improve with a year or so in bottle and keep through 2026."
