Mordoree, Lirac Reine Bois Rouge Brut Zero I have never tasted such

I have never tasted such a wide rage of quality nor so many unusually distinctive and at times downright inscrutable wines at this address as those of 2004

hand-crafted Zinfandel

elegant and long

with juicy redcurrant fruit and a punchy lift of freshness

Mordoree, Lirac Reine Bois Rouge Brut Zero I have never tasted suchI previously reviewed the 1998 Lirac Cuvee de la Reine des Bois prior to bottling, and it is living up to my expectations. It exhibits a dark ruby purple color as well as a moderately intense nose of black fruits, licorice, spice, pepper, and smoke. Displaying moderate tannin with exceptional concentration, it will benefit from 1 2 years of cellaring. It is one of those rare Liracs that will age for 10 15 years.
