Domaine des Hauts Traversiers L’Espuol (Red) 2022 - OutstandingTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim
Dark, opaque. Black chocolate aromas. Inky, leathery, butcher shop, a hint of cinnamon, roasting coffee and baking bread. Beautifully intense and expressive. Blue fruit with an amazing acidity and freshness. Crunchy tannins, lots of acidity. Fine mineral freshness, very elegant and long. Full of personality and secondary/tertiary charm that goes beyond simple fruitiness. Lovely intensity, perfectly balanced tannins, plenty of acidity and an overall quietly earnest quality.
