This juggernaut of a bottle from France hits our shores once more. For all its hulking presence, it's only $25 but its weight certainly gives the impression that it is a lot more important than the price suggests.
More than 135 000 bottles are produced of this Grenache dominated blend. Tar, boot polish, blackberries and black earth hit the ground running. Black fruits and Mediterranean herbs roll out through the mouth with some meatiness via burnt ends with a cheeky lick of sarsaparilla. There is certainly some oomph here. Drying and grippy, the finish is long and persistent. It's a strong contender for a roast beef.
