"Aromas of blackberries, black plums, bark, and dried spices. Full-bodied with firm tannins. Textured 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 the wine:

Floral, lovely, and crisp, with clean, pure fruit. The palate is supple, with well-balanced acidity, fruit, and tannins. A fine achievement for such a challenging vintage. It’s far superior to most others and will age better than most 2021s. Fermented in concrete tanks, aged for 12 months in barrels, with no new oak.

About the wine:

Tasted blind. A juicy, ripe nose of cherries and plums. On the palate, notes of dried figs, blackberries, and licorice, with a rich concentration of dark fruits. A ripe, rich, and robust style.
