TASTING NOTE: Sourced from vineyards on the plain, with greater clay content, this is a well-judged cuvée of Carignan with 34% Mourvèdre, aged in new oak. It's a very elegant, refined style for Maule with black plum and liquorice notes and refreshing acidity. Drink: 2017-2023. Score - 93 (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, 2017) |
