Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 94
EDITORS CHOICE
This Paso Rhône pioneer shows its superpowers most prominently through blends, such as this mix of 66% Grenache, 18% Syrah, 8% Counoise and 8% Mourvèdre. Black plum, lavender potpourri and pepper dust aromas show on the nose, while the extremely balanced palate pairs those similar elements into a cohesive and elegant expression.
Wine Tasting Notes
A pretty nose that speaks clearly of Mourvedre in its elderberry and blackcurrant fruit and its eucalyptus and soy marinade umami notes. On the palate, black cherry and musky mulberry fruit, new leather, and a loamy richness that suggests a lovely meaty note will develop with time. The firm but ripe tannins maintain order and lead to a long, spicy finish. This is an Esprit that will drink well young, but don’t let this trick you into thinking it won’t have the stuffing to age. Enjoy any time in the next 20-25 years.
