Still tightly wound, this robust, gutsy red opens up to reveal lavender, salty black plum and garrigue notes underscored by peppery freshness. The tannins still show a firm grip as they lace up the brooding, slightly chewy finish, anchored by crushed iron and sandalwood smoke. Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah. Best from 2027 through 2035. 6,500 cases made, 1,105 cases imported.
