John Gilman 93 pts! The 2013 Clos du Château des Ducs from Domaine Lafarge is an outstanding young wine. The nose is pure, red fruity and quite refined, delivering a constellation of cherries, red berries, a touch of currant, gamebird, lovely minerality, mustard seed and just a whisper of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, focused and beautifully balanced, with a good core of red fruit, lovely soil signature and a long, suavely tannic and vibrant finish. All that is required here is a bit more patience. (Drink between 2025 - 2065)
