LE CIRQUE |
| Deep intense purple colour. Very spicy, faintly sweetish, ripe plum puree nose. Fairly dry, medium to medium-light bodied, ripe plum flavours with a crisp finish. This blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Carignan and 20% Syrah has 14.5% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with a screwcap closure. OK value but not detour for me. The 2013 (*+/**) repeat with 87-points was released on September 17,2016 at $16.95. |

| TASTING NOTE: Given the difficulty in the vintage, I was shocked at the quality of the 2014 IGP Cotes Catalanes and it's a beautiful wine. Made from 60% Grenache, 20% Carignan and 20% Syrah, it has medium to full-bodied richness to go with ample darker berry fruits, crushed herbs and pepper on the nose and palate. From 50+-year-old vines and tiny yields on the order of two tons per acre, it's a no-brainer and will drink nicely for 2-3 years. Drink Date: 2016-2019. Score - 90 (Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com, April 27, 2016) |
