2001 Eric Texier Chateauneuf-du-Pape Reserve Improbable IX

"A class act from start to finish, this profound, inky-black, thick-textured, modern yet artisanal-styled red impresses with its impeccable balance. Includes chocolate, mocha, blackberries, plum. Ripe tannins, sweet fruit, long finish. Burgundy-based negociant Éric Texier scores again with a seductive, fabulous, polished cuvée." 94/100 - Wine Spectator
