Blend of 80% Grenache & 20% Syrah aged mostly in concrete tank. The medium+ intensity nose seems a bit shy, offering hints of spicy raspberry & blackberry, garrigue, plus whiffs of oak & mineral. The medium to medium-full bodied palate is fruit forward and uber-ripe with raspberry, dark berry, spice & garrigue flavours surrounding a savoury core, plus touches of florality. It has juicy, lip-smacking acidity, and ripe, smooth, supple, and lightly chalky textured tannins. Nicely balanced throughout with a pleasing mix of berries and smoky mineral lingering on the long finish. Tasted Dec/2021.
