Made from a slightly different blend of 67% Grenache, 32% Syrah and 1% Mourvedre 95% aged in concrete and 5% in barrels, possesses a dark ruby color as well as sweet black currant and raspberry fruit intertwined with earthy undertones, and hints of licorice as well as spring flowers. Medium to full-bodied with good density, along with alluring, up-front fruit
Tasting Notes
A rather polished, modern style, with rounded mouthfeel to the rich layers of cassis, plum sauce and blackberry preserves, all followed by lush fruitcake and Christmas pudding notes on the finish. Stays rounded throughout, but has ample length and density, and should show more range with cellaring. More modern in style than typical for this domaine. Drink now through 2020.?J.M.
