Gérard Bertrand Terroir Corbières 2011

A smoking value, the 2011 Corbieres Terroir offers pretty lead pencil, tobacco leaf and blackcurrant-styled aromas and flavors to go with a medium to full-bodied, rounded and supple profile on the palate. Showing more spice and cedar with air, this outstanding blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre, which spent 12 months in 40% new French oak, should drink nicely for 3-5 years, if not longer. Score - 90. (Jeb Dunnuck, erobertparker.com, April 2014)
