Force Majeure Parabellum Coulée Rhone Blend- 2017 (750ml)

91 points Vinous Media

Healthy red-ruby. Crushed briary blackberry and blueberry fruit aromas are complicated by licorice, violet, bitter chocolate and espresso. Suave and fine-grained but vibrant too, with its dark berry flavors complemented by hints of game, espresso and cocoa powder. Intense and smooth for a second wine, finishing with firm-edged tannins that avoid dryness.  - Stephen Tanzer Oct 2018
