La Desir Cabernet Franc 2013

99/100 | Robert Parker - "Opaque purple, like its siblings, the wine is showing incredible floral, blueberry and espresso notes, exotic Asian spices, velvety texture, a supple, multilayered mouthfeel and incredible finish, with incense and licorice. This is a magnificent young wine, with a good 40-50 years of upside potential. Pierre Seillan is justifiably proud of what he has achieved, and his first vintage of V?rit? was only 1998, but they go from strength to strength." Verite skilfully blends Bordeaux' legendary traditions with California's fearless New World flair.
