This wine from the Roussillon region boasts a deep, opaque ruby-purple color. The nose is powerful and sun-baked, offering intense aromas of blackberry jam, prune, licorice, and a distinct note of garrigue herbs. The palate is full-bodied and richly structured, with a robust framework of ripe, firm tannins and balanced acidity supporting concentrated flavors of stewed dark fruits and dark chocolate. The finish is long and warming. A blend of Grenache and Syrah from old vines, it is aged in large oak foudres, which adds a subtle oxidative note and enhances the wine's rustic, powerful character without imparting overt oak flavor. Earning 91 points for its intensity and authenticity, it demands hearty, flavorful dishes like daube de boeuf, grilled lamb, or strong cheeses. Show more
