What a classic producer. 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre.

The nose hits you with black cherries, those dark red crazy ripe strawberries, plum jam, black as midnight boysenberries, this smells big and lush and quite concentrated. There’s some dried fruit in there too.

There’s this trio of olive-cranberry-cured meats that immediately hits my tongue and creates this savoury yet sweet tapestry. The back end is supported by this delicious mocha and leather tertiary notes which complement the primaries hugely. This tastes like a charcuterie board with some strawberry quince. I’ve not had this before but this is crazy QPR and got me itching to try his more premium offerings. RIP my wallet I guess.
