2016 Clos Marie Les Trois Saisons Rouge

This is lightning in a bottle with stellar reviews la, la ,la...The proof is in the tasting, though, as is always is. This exists, unintended, to confirm that a $25 bottle can smoke fancy, shmancy, name brand, hard, pipe hitting, reds from southern France at 3 times the price. Thick and viscous and supple in the mouth. Extensive depth and complexity with a melange of dark, slurpy fruit and it's SO ok without food. WITH food, bangin' barbecue is required and hereby already ordered. Your delivery will arrive in 10 minutes...
