A wine that blew me away was the 2014 Languedoc Les Darons by Jeff Carrel. Still in barrel, it offers thrilling notes of black and blue fruits, violets, and peppery spice to go with a medium to full-bodied, elegant, seamless profile on the palate...it has striking purity, integrated acidity and a great finish. It should drink nicely on release and have 7-8 years of overall longevity. eRobertParker.com

GCS fermented and aged in concrete. Nice black and blue fruit, balanced extraction, structure and acidity, and overall focus. Excellent quality at this price.

Very nice. Intensely minerally nose with a smoky note over dark blackberry skins. Soft and mouthfilling, with pure dark blackberry fruit and a nice stony component. Not a lot of tannin. And for this region it's actually nicely light on its feet.

Nose of violets, blackberry jam and cherry. Notes of blue and black berries and pepper on nose. Great complexity at a great price. #QPR

Holy crap.. I love this. It's rare to find an unoaked red with this much concentration of flavours. Superb balance of weight and acidity make this a great pair for tapas or lighter cheese and charcouterie. Really easy on the wallet on top of everything.. 17.5 out of 20
