Mordoree, Lirac Reine Bois Rouge Brut Zero when he planted his own

when he planted his own vineyard

it shows great focus and purity

Just lovely pruney stuff

It was bottled in July 2019

This is not going to wow you with its concentration

Mordoree, Lirac Reine Bois Rouge Brut Zero when he planted his ownI previously reviewed the 1998 Lirac Cuvee de la Reine des Bois prior to bottling, and it is living up to my expectations. It exhibits a dark ruby purple color as well as a moderately intense nose of black fruits, licorice, spice, pepper, and smoke. Displaying moderate tannin with exceptional concentration, it will benefit from 1 2 years of cellaring. It is one of those rare Liracs that will age for 10 15 years.
