Superb CdR, testbook stuff, with more structure most from the region at this price point. Organic too. Tannin is still noted though I think drinking quite well at the moment. Will keep for a few years. Case in point for saving your $$ over buying far more expensive Chateauneuf. Tasted May 2023.
A blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, the lovely medium-high intensity nose is rich, spicy, meaty, and dark berry scented with ripe cherry, cassis, and whiffs of mineral arriving with time in the glass. On the dry, medium to medium-full bodied palate it has lovely spicy, black cherry, cassis, meaty, stony mineral flavours with touches of plum. It has clean, fresh acidity, nice structure, and slightly chalky tannins. Really well-balanced and elegant with lovely savoury mineral notes lingering on the long finish. Tasted Mar/2022.
