Aromas of blackberries, black plums, bark, and dried spices. Full-bodied with firm tannins. Texture with a hint of blackberry on the palate. Slightly chewy, but the overall balance remains. Dried herbs on the compact, spicy finish. 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, and 10% Mourvèdre. Made from organically grown grapes. Best after 2023." (James Suckling 2023)

About wine:

Floral, pretty and clean, with good fruit purity. The palate is supple, with balanced acidity, fruit and tannins. Well done for such a tricky year. It is much better than most others and will last longer than most 2021s. Fermented in concrete, aged for 12 months in barrels, no new oak.

About wine:

Blind tasting. Juicy, ripe nose of cherries and plums. A hint of dried fig on the palate with blackberry, licorice, and a good concentration of black fruits. A ripe, rich, robust style.
