Wine rated 94–97/100 (Extraordinary wine)

About the wine:

A potential star in the making, the 2017 Terrasses du Larzac “Le Songe d’Eocène” (tasted as a sample blended from several barrels) is slightly less aromatic than the usual bottling, but it is more concentrated. Full-bodied, creamy, and opulent, it combines blueberry, licorice, and vanilla in a breathtaking whirlwind of flavors, with a long and intense finish.

Wine rated (2021 guide) 92-94/100

About the wine:

A selection of specific plots and a cuvée from old vines, the 2017 Le Songe d'Éocène reveals a deeper color and a fabulous nose of olives, pepper, and gamey black fruits. Full-bodied, beautifully concentrated, with good acidity and a supple, well-integrated texture, this is a lovely, distinctive Syrah (with a touch of Grenache and Mourvèdre in the blend) from this estate that will age gracefully for over a decade.
