Mas de Boislauzon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée du Quet 2015
99 Points
“Like the base cuvée, yet even richer, more powerful, and decadent, the 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Quet is full-bodied, ripe, sexy and about as hedonistic as it gets in 2015, this beauty has tons of sweet tannin, a huge mid-palate, and big finish. It's an incredible wine that’s guaranteed to raise your heart rate (it did for me anyway).” - Jeb Dunnuck (10/17)
