Critics reviews

Julia Harding MW 17/20

75.6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5.5% Merlot, 4.4% Tannat, 3.9% Cabernet Franc, 1.8% Malbec, 1.8% Pinot Noir, 7% rare varieties.

This has become more meaty alongside the black fruit but also has become fragrant with a herbal garrigue scent. Still firm but more chalky than dense. Very dark-flavoured on the finish and rather closed for now.

Drink 2019 - 2027

Like the 2013, this was not a notably ripe Mas de Daumas Gassac, but it's an outstanding vintage nonetheless, thanks to its aromatic finesse, complexity, and fine-sewn flavour contours. Black fruits are joined by raspberry, sweet tobacco leaf and fine leather. The concentration is impressive, and vibrant fruit-saturated acidity makes for a highly energetic, almost athletic style.

Drink 2018 - 2027
