Dry, medium bodied, well structured, fairly spicy, intense, ripe plum-cherry purée flavours with a somewhat cedary, fairly high acid finish. Quite ready to drink.

TASTING NOTE: A blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Mourvèdre and 10% Grenache, two-thirds of the 2016 Grand Terroir les Aspres spent nine months in barrel (one-third new). It boasts resinous aromas of rosemary and lavender, lifted cherry fruit and a long, lingering cherry-stone finish. It's full-bodied and supple, with a creamy texture and plenty of concentration. It should drink well upon release and through 2025. Drink Date: 2019-2025. Score - 90-92 (Joe Czerwinski, robertparker.com, April 27, 2018) |
