| LOB: Schwarzrot. Unglaublich druckvolle Nase voller Mineralität und schwarzer Frucht. Extrem intensiv, die Nase fast überfordernd. Im Mund frische Rassigkeit und hochintensive, schwarze Frucht, sehr dicht, körperreich und wieder sehr mineralisch, Garriguewürze, Goudron, tollen Schliff und Eleganz zeigend. Der Nachhall will auch nach über einer Minute nicht weichen. Erinnert an einen großen und dichten Crozes Hermitage mit toller Frische und sehr komplexer Finesse. 94/100 -- RPWA: The l'Oustal 2005 Minervois (whose labeling pre-dates use of the name "Giocoso" for this cuvee) had a hard act to follow in the amazing 2004, and due to extremely sluggish malo-lactic transformation, it was very slow to appear on the stage. But the wait was worth it. The savory, saline, roasted meat, and pan dripping side of this makes it as capital-"U" umami a wine as you can experience anywhere, and just transcribing this note has me salivating reflexively. Bitter-edged cassis and black raspberry with wafting, clinging thyme and rosemary further inform this wine of persistent brightness and invigoration. If you think you already know what Minervois is capable of and you don't yet know this wine, think again! 93/100 -- WS: Ripe and rich, with alluring berry, cherry, plum and mineral flavors that are firmly supported by plenty of acidity and medium-grained tannins. The finish gushes with lively spicy notes. Grenache, Carignane and Syrah. 92/100
