A beautifully complex nose with spicy notes, a round and supple palate, and well-integrated tannins that support this harmonious profile before giving way to a lovely freshness on the finish. A wine that has it all!

About the wine:

Tasted as a barrel sample, the 2015 Cuvée Spéciale Minervois marks a further step forward compared to the 2014 vintage (which is by no means a disappointment) and offers deeper, richer notes of black raspberries, blackcurrants, crushed flowers, and violets. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, pure, concentrated, and elegant, it certainly has exceptional potential and should develop into a fine wine and a real bargain.
