96 Points Decanter
La Source is produced from the vines at the top of the property at over 200m elevation. The structure is firmly tannic from a bit of stem inclusion. Still, for the most part, the winemaking is smoothly polished and preserves an exuberant fruit while delivering a firmly concentrated wine with impressive persistence. The finished wine shows incredibly ripe blackberry and cassis fruit with a pronounced minerality and a saline character that comes through on the nose and the palate.
95 Points Wine Spectator
A wine of precision and dimension, this is buoyed by a vibrant acidic, tannic backbone and framed by bright cherry and forest floor accents, which build richness toward the refined tannins. Drink now through 2031.

The aromas are reduced out of the gate. Beyond that are appealing notes of brown stem and spice. The palate brings flavors of freshly brewed tea, tangerine and dark cherry. They are full in feel, with abundant cherry notes and cinnamony tannins. There's a freshness that ups the enjoyment, along with a sense of purity. This is much more about the future than the present. It has a very, very long life ahead of it. Best after 2027, but whenever you open it, you're in for a real treat.
