Vinous – 2016


90-92   –   Les Halos de Jupiter 2014 Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Vivid ruby. Sexy, mineral-tinged aromas of ripe red berries, cherry compote, lavender pastille and smoky minerals. Juicy and perfumed in the mouth, offering appealing sweet black raspberry and cherry flavors that tighten up with air. Shows very good depth of flavor with no undue weight, and finishes very long and spicy, displaying smooth tannins and a repeating mineral note. -JR

91-92  –   Les Halos de Jupiter 2014 Gigondas
Bright violet. Black raspberry, cherry compote and licorice on the expressive nose. Fleshy and expansive, offering appealingly sweet red and blue fruit flavors and a subtle touch of candied licorice. Picks up energy with air and finishes sweet and very long, displaying excellent clarity and lingering florality. -JR

90-92   –   Les Halos de Jupiter 2014 Vacqueyras
Deep ruby. Potent aromas of fresh dark berries, Asian spices and candied flowers on the deeply perfumed nose. At once rich and energetic, offering sweet black raspberry and cherry flavors given spine by juicy acidity. Turns spicier on the long, penetrating finish, which features silky tannins and a lingering lavender pastille nuance.-JR

90   –   Les Halos de Jupiter 2014 Côtes-du-Rhône
Saturated ruby. Ripe red fruit, peppery spices and candied lavender on the nose, lifted and sharpened by a smoky mineral nuance. Gently sweet, palate-coating raspberry, cherry and floral pastille flavors become spicier and more lively with air. Supple and round, finishing quite long; subtle spicy bite and even tannins meld smoothly with the juicy fruit. -JR

90   –   Les Halos de Jupiter 2014 Costières de Nîmes
Deep ruby. Bright, mineral-accented cherry, raspberry and candied violet aromas show excellent clarity and pick up white pepper and allspice nuances with aeration. Juicy, focused and concentrated but light on its feet, offering bitter cherry and red fruit flavors and a touch of spicecake. Smoothly blends richness and vivacity, finishing with a gently tannic note and strong, fruity persistence. -JR
