Lot 303
2017 Minervois La Liviniere GSM (90-Points)

Deep ruby, almost opaque in the glass. The effusive bouquet is neverthelessbeautifully restrained with notes of violets, blackberry, raspberry, black olive and garrigue, leather, and coriander spice with praline notes. Focused and silky with a beautiful structure, the smooth layers of flavors mingle throughout, delicately supported by melted notes of wood. Concentrated on the mid-palate, rich and expressive with an exquisite freshness evolving into a long mineral finish with lingering fruit and spice. Fantastique!

WOW !

"Excellent !! Just finished a bottle and was hoping to be able to buy more…. ."

— Jim (5/5)

Much better now than last year!

"It integrated in a most formidable way. Tapenade, black olives, plum, licorice and violets dance and mingle the tastebuds in a flamboyant, exotic two-step. Great value."

— Juan K. (5/5)

A nice everyday red

"This is a lovely red - medium body and a little dry. Deep flavor and dark in color. Pairs well with just about anything."

— Lucie B. (4/5)

A good cellar defender

— Richard S. (3/5)

A favorite everyday wine

"Decanting opens it up, dark burnt berries, medium body, goes well with different foods. I went thru 4 or 5 cases and wish more was available."

— John S. (4/5)

Mostly great

"I think this is great wine when it's on its game. However, I have found bottle variation is significant. I've probably drank 20 bottles from multiple shipments."

"One of my favorite purchases from De Negose. Has a nice earthy nose and subtle taste, I like this. For the money, can't go wrong."
