Blend of mourvèdre, grenache, cinsault, syrah and carignan. Clay-limestone soil and gravelly areas, 30-year-old vines. Powerful wine, typical of its appellation, greedy, imposing and silky tannins dominated by notes of fruit and spices, wine for aging. Gives up classic leather, garrigue, underbrush and sweet black raspberry notes on the nose. Medium-bodied, supple, sexy and with fine tannin, it’s a forward, ready to-go beauty to drink over the coming 5-7 years. Nice match: Beef tagliatta, parmesan, arugula.
