Domaine Gilles Flacher - Saint-Joseph Les Reines 2020
89-91/100
Robert Parker
"Absolutely elegant"
The nose reveals intense fruitiness of black cherries mingled with black olives. The palate is both powerful and supple, very concentrated, and finishes with a tarry note. The terroir of Les Reines is beautifully expressed here.
