Vintage: | 2017 |

Description: | "Our Malbec in 2017 was awesome, it usually gives the spice, Pierre Seillan told me during the tasting of the 2017s with his daughter and one day successor, Helene. But this year, we didnt need it. The alcohol is only 14.2% this yearit has the energy, the minerality. I think it will age for 40 years at least. I think it is the best Ive made. Composed of 100% Merlot for the first time this year, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2017 La Muse rolls sensuously out of the glass with scents of black raspberries, Black Forest cake, boysenberries and cinnamon toast, followed by nuances of a garrigue, forest floor, beef drippings and clove oil. Medium to full-bodied, the richly fruited palate slowly builds in the mouth to a crescendo of black fruit preserves and exotic spice layers, framed by exceptionally ripe, round tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and fragrant. Stylistically, it stands apart from previously vintages, possessing the same magical intensity, but with less weight and more pop. 2,500 cases were made." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown robertparker.com (May 29, 2020) |
