Wine:

Another magnificent success on this vintage! The 2019 Red Lirac La Reine des Bois is furiously similar to its Châteauneuf-du-Pape neighbor, with notes of cocoa, macerated black cherry, spice and pepper. Its intense and very pleasant notes melt into a palate of beautiful concentration, just as expressive, fresh, complex and powerful. This is a great red wine from the Southern Rhône Valley, with present but smooth tannins, which will last for 10 years. A must-have, rated 94/100 by our Selection Committee.
