Montfaucon Lirac Rouge - 2020 (750ml) 1933 with notes of fruit cake"Very lush in fruit, there's concentration without over extraction. Intense drive on the palate, with tight and fresh tannins. This is still embryonic but has great potential, displaying balance, freshness and intense, chalky tannins." 92 Points, Tasted by: Matt Walls, Decanter, 30 Sep 2021
