Wine Advocate 90-92pt

Deep purple-black in color, the 2020 de Lussac needs a little swirling to unlock wonderfully pure notes of wild blueberries, black raspberries and fresh blackberries, plus suggestions of pencil shavings and bouquet garni. The medium to full-bodied palate is tightly wound with loads of black fruit and floral and herbs layers, framed by rounded tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and mineral laced.
