This is so forward, juicy and inviting, already offering so much, with loads of ripe damson plum, creme de cassis, black olive and secondary notes of lavander, mineral, espresso, loam and herbs. The full body is supported by gorgeous soft velvety tannins and a mouth-watering plush finish. No need to wait long on this, it's ready to go now, but it will also hold up nicely if you feel like waiting. Composed of 75% Grenache, 20 % Syrah and 5 % mourvèdre.
