Chateau Pesquie Ventoux "Artemia" red 2012

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Jeb Dunnuck, oct 2016) : The 2012 Ventoux Cuvee Artemia (50/50 Grenache and Syrah) is another elegant, gorgeously pure wine that offers medium to full-bodied richness, loads of flowers, violets and black raspberry aromas and flavors, as well as sensational tannin quality. It has the polish and balance to drink nicely now, but it has another decade of longevity. Drink 2016 -2026.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Jeb Dunnuck, jan. 2015): "Showing more Grenache character (this cuvee is a 50/50 blend of Grenache and Syrah), the 2012 Ventoux Artemia has awesome black raspberry, garrigue, sweet spice and creamy licorice aromas and flavors all soaring from the glass. Hard to resist, it?s medium to full-bodied, voluptuous and downright sexy on the palate, with polished tannin, beautiful mid-palate depth and no shortage of length through the finish. It?s a thrilling wine to enjoy over the coming 5-6 years, although I wouldn?t be surprised to see it evolve for longer."
