"A deep, dense. spicy and smoke-edged nose here, there's menthol elements as well as red cherries, dark chocolate and tobacco. A lovely texture on the palate, immediately inviting and enveloping, drawing you in with the sumptuous concentrated fruit flavours and backbone of oak spice, liquorice and kirsch. Such a complex wine, with so much ageing potential. Could have gone a point higher in score but I think it will improve with a few more years in bottle and last up to thirty or forty. Open and decant if possible at least two hours before serving. A blend of 60-65% Syrah, 15-20% Grenache and Mourvèdre and touch of Carignan depending on the vintage."
