"The Languedoc Les Darons 2022 is denser and richer, with notes of ripe black cherry, wild strawberry, ground pepper, and flowers in a medium-bodied to full-bodied, pure, and beautifully balanced ensemble. The purity and balance here are first-rate. The blend is composed of 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah, and the remainder Carignan, sourced from old vines and aged in concrete. This is a sure bet." (Jeb Dunnuck 2023).
