Solidly built, with a well-formed core of plum, blackberry, and black cherry compote flavors supported by warm earth, anise, plum pit, and black tea. The focused finish lets the fruit play out, keeping an underlying freshness in the process. Grenache and Syrah. Best from 2023 through 2034. 635 cases imported. — JM
What We Thought: This elegant wine has an expressive nose of spicy black cherry and a robust, full-bodied palate of ripe black cherry and black raspberry fruit, touched with notes of Provençal herbs and black pepper, finishing smoothly with a touch of dust on the supple tannins.
