The Wine Advocate
Taking its name from flowers that – after he banned herbicides – began growing out of some rocks on this parcel that were too big for him to remove, Tribouley’s 2005 Orchis is the latest vintage of what was formerly called “Serrat den Franc.” Its explosively ester-rich nose of black raspberry and blueberry confiture incorporates overtones of almond extract, prunelle eau de vie, wood smoke and cocoa powder. Liqueur-like and loaded with distilled berry inner-mouth esters, this nevertheless retains clarity and purity, avoiding even the slightest temptation toward superficial sweetness or confectionary stickiness. Deep roasted meat and wet stone flavors emerge in a long, smoke-tinged finish founded on a veritable ocean of concentrated blue and black fruit.
Score: 92.
