  Comparing it side by side to Les Clans.
  
  This 2016 vintage, now tasted in 2019, has more of an onion skin color, and more defined aromas of raspberry tea with a hint of vanilla. Slight tannic bite. Long length of finish and a great deal of finesse and complexity.
  
  It is a mix of Grenache and Rolle and a blend of free run joice and a slight first pressing. Aging in both stainless stell and 600L barrels.
  
  Compared to Les Clans ... good, yet Les Clans very pale color, more toast/vanilla/spice on the nose, and more complexity as well as a very long finish

  Highly appealing...marked by power and finesse...the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove. It coats the palate with inflection-changing substance. Superior finish. 91-92.
