  Less Celebrated France WIMPS #164 28th April 2023 (La Trompette, Chiswick): 70% Grenache & 30% Mourvèdre. A producer I have a soft spot for. Cool fruited, spicy, meaty with some lavender hints and just a little lift. Good persistence on the palate with a little aniseed and some bresaola. Powerful and deep. Might bring my mag of 2011 next year.

  Less Celebrated France (WIMPS) (La Trompette, Chiswick, London): 70% Grenache (68 yo vines) and 30% Mouvedre (16 yo vines) aged in 600L demi muids for 16mos and certified organic. Strawberry fruit and quite airy on the nose. It's not quite tertiary yet and there is a lovely mouthfeel and length, elegant tannins and in fact it is still on the fruit. Lifted finish. No rush to drink these and worth seeking out. Probably my red WOTL (even though it was my bottle).
