2023 Domaine Notre Dame des Pallieres Rasteau Les Ribes Bordeaux Superieur There is a pleasing peacock's90 92 Points, Jeb Dunnuck "Black raspberries, sandalwood, graphite, and some pepper and savory herb notes all emerge from the 2023 Rasteau Les Ribes. Medium bodied and nicely balanced, it has fine tannins, an elegant style, and should easily be outstanding. Made from 70% Grenache, 15% Mourvdre, 10% Syrah, and 5% Cinsault, aged 80% in concrete vats and 20% in French oak demi muids, it will drink well for at least a decade. 90 92 points."
