Jancis Robinson
"A 70-30 blend of Syrah and Grenache, with the Syrah aged in small new oak barrels and the Grenache aged in large casks. Château Lavabre's 2018 Pic Saint Loup offers ripe, exuberant aromas of plum and black cherry, underpinned by notes of baking spices and crushed stone. These same aromas underpin a full-bodied palate, adding a touch of depth to the waves of ripe fruit. Ripe, supple tannins provide the necessary structure. This delicious and approachable wine will not require significant cellaring time after release.” (Wine Advocate - Joe Czerwinski)
