    Château la Croix des Pins Ventoux (Red) 2022 - Highly RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Semi-opaque. Beeswax, blueberry fruit and iodine. Very floral, blue velvet, scented incense and elegant blue velvet minerality. Slightly cab-mac reductive Syrah notes on the nose. Juicy red fruit on the palate, remarkably vibrant berry-driven and slightly floral. Mouthwatering, vibrant acidity, barely-there crunchy, lightly chalky tannins with a sandy-terroir prettiness and a slightly ferrous hint giving extra complexity. Elegant despite the weight, very modern.
