  3/9/2021 - La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine: 91 Points

  This deep crimson wine is comprised of 50% Grenache and 50% Syrah. Splash-decanted and serially sampled over 2-3 hours, it unleashes its aromas and flavors within the first 30-60 minutes. Packed with black raspberries, Provençal herbs, clementines, bramble leaves and licorice, it is a full-bodied, fresh offering that weaves in a judicious aliquot of oak while keeping its 13.5% alcohol in check. Sweet tannins wrap the flavors on the mid-palate and throughout the medium-to-long finish. This Southern Rhone performs well above its price point. Enjoy it over the next 4-5 years. Drink now-2026.
