"What charm!"

"A blend of 70% Grenache (aged in second-use demi-muids), 20% Syrah, 8% Mourvèdre and 2% Carignan (vinified separately in new 228-liter barrels), the Languedoc Tête de Bélier rouge 2018 presents lush scents of blackberries, plums and black cherries supported by notes of baking spices and vanilla. It's rich, sumptuous and full-bodied, with velvety tannins, hints of vanilla and a lingering sensation of sweetness on the finish." (Wine Advocate 2020 - Joe Czerwinski)
