Floral, silky Chateauneuf, very seductive, juicy dark hedgerow and sweet Victoria plum fruit with a touch of fresh raspberry and plenty of sweet Asian spices. Sensual but with some snap too. Warming but bright. Beautiful harmony. A blend of 14 parcels, mainly old vines Grenache, with 20% Mourvedre and the balance made up of Syrah and Cinsault. Aged in large old wooden casks.
