Drinking Dates: 2009 to 2015 | Cépagement: 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre (50-60 year-old vines harvested at 35hl/ha) | Upbringing: Destemming followed by 28-day fermentation with punching down of the must to encourage aromas. | Critic Reviews: "The more scorched, chocolatey side of Grenache. Aromas of earth, chocolate, black cherry and garrigue emerge from this dark ruby/purple tinged effort. With abundant fruit, body, tannin, muscle and structure, this chewy, big Rasteau does not possess the sensuality of the Cairanne but it is a backstrapping, bold cuvee that will benefit from 1-2 years of cellaring." 90-92/100 (Parker)
"Packing a 14.7% alcohol punch from a very ripe, high quality Rhône vintage, this Grenache-dominated blend (with 30% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre) has richly berried, sonorous nose, with pure, glossy blackberry and floral nuances. On the palate the fruit is intense and packed into the mid-palate, with delicious concentration and muscularity, but a fine, silky finish. A cracking wine this, with five years minimum ahead of it." 91/100 (www.thewinegang.com) |
