Domaine Gauby Muntada IGP Cotes Catalanes, France 2010

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (David Schildknecht, janvier 2014) : 94/100.
The Gauby 2010 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Muntada leads with a pungently complex aromatic melange of cedar, game, alkali, smoky black tea, Latakia tobacco, sweat, game and fresh blackberry. A bright, juicy palate reflects the aforementioned complexity while offering a combination of tangy berry skin tartness and berry seed crunchiness that lend invigoration to a metaphorically dark and memorably persistent finish. Still, the 2011 successor strikes me when tasted alongside as even richer; more energetic; as well as more elegant in its remarkable sense of buoyancy. Still, this represents a formidable performance likely to continue rewarding through 2022.
