Château de la Gardine - L'immortelle 2005

Robert Parker 91+/100, RVF 17.5/20, Bettane & Desseauve 17.5/20, Gault Millau 16/20
"Dense and tannic on the palate, very full-bodied, with highly expressive notes of black fruit, this wine displays great intensity and undoubtedly has significant aging potential." (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2009 Bettane & Desseauve). A cuvée full of finesse, a far cry from muscle-bound wines, 100% Mourvèdre from an exceptional 2005 vintage.
