“Infinite Finale...”

A powerful yet balanced wine, driven by aromas of ripe, jammy black fruits. The tannins add fresher notes of cedar and tobacco. The palate is full-bodied, highlighted by a touch of liveliness on the finish, with notes of eucalyptus and menthol. Perfect with red meat or in a sauce!

Rated estate (2020 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

South of Perpignan, Charles Perez has been running his estate since 2008 in the hamlet of Nyls, in the Aspres region: 25 hectares of organic vineyards spread across three hills within a 110-hectare estate. For his reds, his blends highlight Syrah. This figurehead of the vineyard is “sketched” by a different artist each year to illustrate his labels. The same goes for his family members. The Catalan Mouton Rothschild, so to speak!

Review by Mr. GILLES D. Published on May 2, 2024

Bucking the current trend of wines meant to be enjoyed for their fruitiness while still very young, here is a little Gem is sure to make an impression with its quintessentially Catalan character. With such a robust body (15% ABV), Barrique “packs a punch,” delivering vigor, opulence, and depth right from the first sip, yet without any exuberance or heaviness. The wine builds in intensity as you taste it, releasing a pulpy juice with intense and complex flavors of macerated small black berries and fresh red fruits, dripping with peppery spices and subtle animal and licorice notes. The thick, almost oily texture is also incredible, with its creamy, enveloping mouthfeel, fine grain, and deceptive sweetness—as it surprises with a refreshing line of powerful tannins, softened by the wood thanks to an ambitious yet precise aging process. Notes of mocha and vanilla round out the smooth, voluptuous finish of extraordinary length. In conclusion, a wine with a distinct terroir identity, well-crafted, complete from start to finish, and original right down to its humor-tinged packaging—all at a highly competitive price for this level of quality. Although built for aging given this excellent 2020 vintage, Barrique wonderfully complemented beautifully aged Aubrac ribeye steaks, braised with vine shoots and accompanied by a pan-seared dish of fresh mousseron mushrooms. Rating = 4.5.
