93+ This is a tiny gem of an estate, just three acres sitting on rich clay and limestone soils and planted with 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. Owned by the Decoster family (justifiably famous for their fabulous wine Fleur Cardinale), this 2012 is a super-concentrated, layered, opulent wine with luxurious fruit largely concealing some serious tannin. This blockbuster displays plenty of mocha, black cherry and cassis fruit. It has an incredibly dense, opaque purple color and a full-bodied mouthfeel. This is a stunner but very limited in availability. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2035+. - Robert Parker
