this blend of 30% syrah, 30% grenache, 30% carignan and 10% mourvèdre is not showing its true age. sure, it boasts some developed notes of charcuterie, balsamic herb and garrigue, but it's also still brimming with full, ripe black-fruit notes of plum and berry. with a crushed velvet texture, gripping tannins and a long, heady finish that's laced with hints of espresso and vanilla, this shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. enjoy now, or try after 2016.
