A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: The 2015 Lirac Clos de Sixte comes from an appellation that shares a similar terroir with Chateauneuf du Pape, yet is located just across the river, on the western side of the Rhone. It's a serious, large scaled, voluptuous effort that has lots of ripe tannin, a [big] mid-palate and copious amounts of blackberries, black cherries, scorched earth, licorice and roasted herbs. One of the bigger boned and concentrated reds in the lineup, it will have a decade of longevity. Score - 91-93 (Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com, Oct. 28, 2016) |
