The 2022 Lirac Cuvée Réservée is also brilliant, with a juicy, layered, incredibly Provençal profile that has so much to love. Ripe black cherries, leather, peppery garrigue, and spice notes all give way to a medium to full-bodied, round, lush Southern Rhône that's balanced and has beautiful fruit as well as outstanding length. Based on 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and the balance Cinsault and Mourvèdre, destemmed and brought up in concrete, drink bottles over the coming 5-7 years.
What We Thought: This big Châteauneuf imposter has a Rhônish nose of brambly black raspberry and a robust but elegant, full-bodied palate of blackberry, more black raspberry accented with baking spice and a touch of licorice. The tannins are supple but age-worthy.
