"Aromas of blackberries, black plums, bark and dried spices. Full body with firm tannins. Texture with a touch of blackberry on the palate. Slightly chewy, but overall balance remains. Dried herbs on the compact, spicy finish. 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre. Made from organic grapes. Best after 2023. (James Suckling 2023)

Expert opinion

Rated wine (guide 2022) 90/100
Area rated Recommended
About the wine:
Floral, pretty and clean, with good purity of fruit. The palate is supple, with balanced acidity, fruit and tannins. Well done for such a delicate year. It's much better than most and will last longer than most 2021s. Fermented in concrete, aged for 12 months in barrels, no new oak.

About the wine:
Tasted blind. Juicy, ripe nose of cherries and plums. A hint of dried fig on the palate, with blackberry, licorice and a good concentration of black fruit. Ripe, rich, robust style.
