| TASTING NOTE: New-ish producer, established in 2011. Grenache from 70-year-old vines, cinsault from 25-year-old vines, mourvèdre from 35-year-old vines, syrah. Bold and ripe but with ample perfumed. Seductive from the outset, or [at] least once given a decant. Herbs and florals, bitumen and black cherry. Dry, suede-like, leather-accented tannin, slow to build but in the end it comes on strong. This is a meaty, substantial wine with excellent, warm reach through the finish. Drink: 2018-2026+. Score - 93 (Campbell Mattinson, winefront.com.au, June 7, 2017) |
