This tank-aged blend of 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache has a medium-high intensity nose that is rich, swarthy, and quite pretty with dark berry, cherry, black licorice, garrigue, pepper, anise, and subtle stony-smoky mineral aromas. On the full-bodied, concentrated palate it has lovely black cherry, licorice, black pepper, spice, and stony mineral flavours supported by fresh, lively acidity and refined tannins that have a somewhat chalky, grippy texture. Black cherry, licorice, and savoury, stony, smoky mineral notes linger on the long finish. Great buy! Tasted Mar/2021.

A solid, herb-infused darkly fruited red from the Languedoc, a consistently good wine every year. Just missing a bit of length to score higher but still represents fine value. Perhaps better with another year under its belt. Tasted March 2020.

You can really taste the booze. I'd put it away until 2022.
