(Wine Advocate Score 93) Even better than his 2016 (!), the 2018 Lirac by Roger Sabon starts off perfumed and floral, backed by delicate berry notes. Medium to full-bodied, it's creamy and supple, with a long finish. Even after blind-tasting 40+ Liracs, I described this in my notebook as "electrifying stuff." It should drink well for close to a decade.

SOIL : Clay and limestone

GRAPE VARIETY : Grenache / Syrah / Mourvèdre / Old Carignan

VINIFICATION / AGING : handpicking. Destemmed harvest. Fermentation temperature regulated around 28° in order to keep a compromise between extraction and aromatic freshness. Long tank maceration of berries, approximately one month. Daily pumping overs with a slow and regular extraction of tannins. Mostly tank ageing. Bottling 8 to 9 months after harvesting. Profile: The purplish ruby colour is followed by an expressive butterscotch, undergrowth and humus notes on the nose. The whole is completed by a full-bodied and spicy mouth with ripe tannins. An appellation, a cru to be discovered!
