16,5/20
Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, matured for 24 month in 600-litre demi muids. Strong deep ruby. Sweet ripe cherries on the nose, with a touch of liquorice and dry herb tea leaves. Juicy generous fruit, very expressive, rolls across the tongue with a drag of hearty but supple tannins. Light notes of orange oil, walnut and tea leaf on the finish. Lots of interest and layers and savoury character here! Decant first. Deserves good food. (TC)
