Lot #626. Vérité Proprietary Red Le Désir 2002

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 97 RP.
"Complimentary adjectives are almost inappropriate for the extraordinary complexity, fabulous richness, and sheer nobleness and beauty of the 2002 Le Désir (52.7% Merlot, 41.2% Cabernet Franc, and tiny percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec). Dense aromas of creosote, burning wood embers, blackberries, blueberries, and violets are offered in the full-bodied, fabulously complex perfume. Full-bodied, with tremendous complexity, a voluptuous texture, and flavors of plum liqueur, figs, chocolate, espresso, and minerals, this is a tour de force in winemaking." Wine Advocate #157, Feb 2005
Provenance: The Calabaza Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $150
