"A fine effort from the estate's vines, the 2017 Lirac Charles 1er profiles with charming aromas of raspberry and strawberry. It's full-bodied and silky, with notes of licorice, dried spice and black cherry on the palate, then firms on the finish, enough to thinkit'll still be good 10 years from now." (Wine Advocate - Joe Czerwinski)
