This beautiful wine is a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan and Syrah, maturation in oak barrels for 24 months and alcohol arrives at 15%. What incredible aromatics on this wine with aromas of sweet ripe berries, blackberry, prunes, savoury herbs, smoke, leather and some mineral component. On the palate, medium bodied, balance acidity, well integrated tannins. Very good length and smooth on the finish with flavours of ripe berries, vanilla and savoury spices. A very elegant, finely textured, fruit driven and fragrant wine, similar to a Châteauneuf-du-Pape but at half the price. Great value, score 92 points.
