It is a smooth full-bodied and well balanced wine with a supple and delicate character.

Awarded 16+/20 Points: Jancis Robinson, Master of Wine

"Calmel & Joseph continue to produce reasonably priced, well-made wines from throughout the Languedoc" RobertParker.com

"Baked plums. Deep, tarry, mulberry and roasted walnuts. Swarthy, dry tannins, spicier too, than on the other Les Terroirs wines. Needs more time to come around. Fantastic freshness though." Jancis Robinson, Master of Wine

"Magnificently fruited and expressed, the gorgeous bouquet shows blackberry, dried cherry, smoked game, tobacco and roasted nut characters, leading to a concentrated palate that dense and delectable. The wine offers power and opulence, firmly structured by fine, chalky tannins. Needs a seriously rich meat dish. At its best: now to 2019" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2018
