Armonio Vin de Pays d'Oc

92 points from Robert Parker and 89 points in Wine Spectator

     “Easily the most modern-styled effort in the lineup, the 2010 Armonio is a joint project of Luc Baudet and Louis Mitjavile of Terte-Roteboeuf in St.-Emilion. A blend of 40% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 24 months in new Bordeaux barrels, it offers up knockout black currant, lead pencil shavings, smoke and underbrush on both the nose and palate.

Full-bodied, concentrated and rich, with a superb texture that stays nicely focused, this serious effort still has some tannin to integrate, and should have over a decade of total longevity. Drink 2015-2020.”
