Southern Rhone

A more savory, moody, strong expression. Deeply rich
nose with minerals, flowers, wild herbs, tar, toasted
spices and pepper. The dark berries have a smoky
edge. Minerally edge, too, thanks to the 60 per cent
mourvèdre. The palate has glossy, ripe and super-fine
tannins in sheets. Deep-set, dark plums and blueberries
in the finish. Noble tannins. Age-worthy.
