“How charming!”
“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 2018 Languedoc Tête de Bélier red offers lush aromas of blackberries, plums, and black cherries, supported by notes of baking spices and vanilla. It is rich, sumptuous, and full-bodied, with velvety tannins, hints of vanilla, and a lingering sweetness on the finish.” (Wine Advocate 2020 - Joe Czerwinski)
