Tasting Notes and Scores

94 JR

Opaque ruby. Expansive, oak-spiced cherry and blackberry scents are complemented by suggestions of candied violet, licorice and mocha. Lush and weighty on the palate, offering ripe red and dark berry flavors and hints of fruitcake and cola. Shows serious power and spicy lift on a long, gently tannic finish that echoes the cherry and licorice notes.

45% Grenache, 45% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah. Aged for 16 months, 45% in concrete and 55% in new oak. Tank sample. Tasted blind. Blackcurrant candy with excess all areas: high tannin, dense fruit, deep colour, full body. Exhausting! And the finish has harsh bitterness. (RH)
