Corbières

A brilliant, deep, ruby red. A lovely, very red fruit nose of fresh strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant, and cranberry, with menthol, black pepper, cinnamon, laurel, and a hint of camphor completing the aromatic palette. The palate is full, silky, and taut, with fine, discreet tannins and superb tension. We find the same red fruit notes accompanied by white pepper, thyme, and laurel, with the Syrah contributing its fresh, fruity spiciness whilst the Grenache gives elegance and depth. We take great care with this altitude Corbières to bring out its atypical profile that is far from the classic image of the appellation. Very agreeable to drink young, but will gain in complexity with ageing.
