2012 Domaine de la Mordorée Lirac Rouge La Plume du Peintre - 94 PTS - WA

wa94"The first vintage for the cuvee, the stunning 2012 Lirac la Plume du Peintre offers incredible notes of crème de cassis, black raspberries, toasted bread, graphite and spice. Full-bodied, voluptuous and sexy with low acidity, a plush, mouth-filling texture and gobs of sweet tannin, it’s a blockbuster Lirac to drink anytime over the coming decade. - Jeb Dunnuck"

2016 Domaine de la Mordorée Lirac Rouge La Plume du Peintre - 93-95 PTS - WA

wa"Probably the finest Lirac I've tasted to date, the 2016 Lirac la Plume du Peintre was still in barrel when I tasted it in June. A 50-50 blend of Grenache and Syrah, it's toasty up front, with blueberry and cherry fruit, great richness and freshness and a long, silky finish. It's full-bodied but never seems heavy or overdone, with touches of mocha and Mexican chocolate on the finish. - Joe Czerwinski"

2016 Domaine de la Mordorée Lirac Rouge La Plume du Peintre - 94 PTS - WA

wa"As ultimately bottled, the 2016 Lirac la Plume du Peintre is a barrel-aged blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah. It's cedary and spicy, with obvious vanilla overtones to the black cherry fruit. Yes, it seems like a lot of new wood. Is it too much? Well, it will be for traditionalists. But for folks who want a rich, velvety, seamless mouthful of red wine, it'll be fabulous. I'd opt for drinking it over the next decade. - Joe Czerwinski"
