2017 Guy Breton Chiroubles, Magnum

Expansive aromas of blackberry, violet and succulent herbs, along with a sexy floral overtone that builds in the glass. Appealingly sweet, nicely concentrated red/blue fruit, spicecake and floral pastille flavors are underscored by suggestions of licorice and smoky minerals. At once powerful and lithe, finishing with tight focus, well-judged tannins and strong, mineral persistence.
92 points. Josh Raynolds, Vinous.
