Reine Margot
Domaine de la Mordorée
Cuvée La Reine des Bois Lirac Red Rhone Blend 2020
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Nice nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Showing red fruits with light oak, licorice and chocolate notes.
Nice length on the finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a very tasty 5 year old GSM blend from Lirac. Nicely balanced and elegant, with mild complexity. The high alcohol is well integrated by now.
Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.
A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Aged in concrete tanks and 15% large French oak barrels.
15.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

Definitely, shows the fruit of 22. Lighter style extraction. A nice pair with Petit Filet Mignon with Glazed Cipollini onions and Red Peppers drizzled in a light gravy.
Bright, ripe and floral fruits of; blackberries, dark cherries, baked strawberries, raspberries, hints of blueberries, some pomegranate, really nice, soft, spice, light baking spices-clove, nutmeg, cinnamon & vanillin, dark, rich, turned earth, a touch of tree bark with sap, just a touch of eucalyptus,dry top soil, red & purple flowers, round acidity, not overly complex but drinks very easy with a nice, balanced finish that lasts under a minute and falls on light spice & dry top soil.
Also, finished nicely with a bite of flourless chocolate cake w/ raspberries.
