Wine Spectator

A few (good!) notes published in the WINE SPECTATOR :

DOMAINE CALVET-THUNEVIN « HUGO » 2003 92
Luscious and extracted, with plenty of power and muscle. Blackberry, dark fruit and cassis flavours fill it to the brim, backed up by medium –grained tannins. Ong finish of dark chocolate and spice. Drink now through 2015.

DOMAINE CALVET-THUNEVIN « LES DENTELLES » 2002 90
Big, full-bodied from the south of France, with dense, smoky flavors of dark plum, kirsch and espresso bean. A bit backward now, but filled with plenty of character, with a decadent, mocha-filled finish. Impressive effort in a tough vintage. Best from 2007 through 2010.

CLOS DEL REY 2002 89
Aromas and flavors of raspberry and cream, with plenty of mocha java. An alluring red that’s focused, with plenty of structure and a long, spicy finish. Drink now through 2009
