Abélard, AOC Ventoux — 2016 – Wine Spectator – 93 Points
93 points
“An intriguing late-release red, with some lovely signs of evolution — balsamic, leafy tobacco, forest floor notes — melding seamlessly with juicy plum sauce and mocha accents. A salty beam of acidity brings energy. Elegant, long and caressing, offering plenty of fleshiness and charm. Drinking beautifully now, with life for the cellar. Delicious.”
