2016 Domaine Francois Lamarche Grand Cru Monopole La Grande Rue California 92-94 Points95 points, Burghound "A subtle touch of wood serves as a suitably discreet backdrop for the exceptionally floral infused and perfumed nose that offers up additional notes of spice, red currant and pekoe tea. The round, refined and lilting if impressively intense flavors are blessed with excellent punch and power while exhibiting a lovely salinity on the built to age finish. This refined effort is very classy, indeed the word Zen comes up mind." Allen
