Initial notes of dried garrigue and crushed earth open into rich, ripe blackberry and black plum on the nose of this elegant red. A blend of 80% Grenache supplemented by Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault, it’s a gripping, intensely black-fruited wine, with a firm mineral undertone. It needs a bit more time to meld but should drink at the peak from 2022 to 2030 and hold longer still. —A.I.
