Domaine de Ravanès - Les Gravières du Taurou 2012
89/100
Robert Parker
"Last bottles!"
A meticulously selected blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot, aged for 48 months in barrels. A great wine—distinctive, powerful, and complex—offering abundant notes of spices and candied fruit, with a full-bodied and deep palate. This is a must-try cuvée; its 1999 vintage even beat the legendary Petrus in a famous blind tasting!
