Shows a lot of aromatic charm, with candied rose petal and pink lemonade overlaying pomegranate and chalky mineral notes. Angular, with good precision, this has a zippiness that carries through the robust, slightly grippy finish. A bold style, with good frame. Grenache Noir, Syrah, Clairette, Cinsault and Picpoul. Drink now.
