97 Points - Vinous:  The 2021 Caves des Lions Patrimony opens with an imposing bouquet, dark and brooding. A smoldering blend of mocha-inflected blackberries and currants come together with grilled herbs, crushed rocks and a lifting hint of camphor. While velvety smooth and dense, there’s a fantastic energy within. Vibrant acidity propels citrus-tinged red and black fruits, all under an air of peppery rose and dark chocolate. Impactful and deeply complex, the 2021 leaves the senses stained with primary concentration, fine-grained tannins and a hint of blood orange and tart black cherry that linger impossibly long. Caves des Lions is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc.
