89-90+ David Schildknecht - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The Mas de Chimeres 2009 Coteaux du Languedoc Terrasses du Larzac - incorporating all five of the estate's principle black grapes and tasted (for this composite note) from two lots that may or may not in fact be married - offers generous aromas and juicy abundance of lightly-cooked blackberry and cassis accompanied by low-toned, intriguingly earthy suggestions of beet root, chard, humus, and peat. A saturation of fine tannin enhances the dense, metaphorically dark, brooding impression without precluding a sense of polish. This grips the palate impressively. The eventual blend(s) - which, even if there is just one, will be subject to two or three different bottlings - should likely be worth savoring and pondering for 4-6 years thereafter."
