2013 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Domaine de Bila-Haut Occultum Lapidem, M. Chapoutier
“A step up and an incredible effort, the 2013 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Latour de France Occultum Lapidem is made from a mix of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan that comes from schist and chalky soils. A serious, classically styled effort, it offers awesome aromas and flavors (blackberry, mineral and licorice), full-bodied richness and fabulous concentration that never comes across as heavy or cumbersome.” Jeb Dunnock, The Wine Advocate, 94-97 points
