2013 Top 100 - Rank # 23
The 2010 is another fascinating ‘Las Flors’ from La Pèira and there no question on its place is among the top echelon of Languedoc wine. This is dark and brooding with aromas of exotic spices, cocoa powder, crème de cassis, herbs, dusty minerals and even violets are all layered in the ripe blackberries and dark cherries. The gorgeous plush texture is supported by soft, round tannins that are well integrated making for a wonderful structure. There is definitely a lot of power to this wine, but everything remains very well balanced all the way the long, supple finish with sweet dark cherries and chocolate flavors leave a lasting impression. This is constantly evolving in the glass and I expect it to continue to do so over the course of the next decade in bottle. Although this really begins to express itself after about an hour of air contact, this will be a ‘Las Flors’ that will be better with some bottle age. (Best 2015-2028) - October, 2013 (JD)
