Domaine de L'Espigouette

From a top property, a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre in a stunning vintage. Earthy, rustic old fashioned Rhone with a porty, ripe fruit and wild herb character.

Nose of laurel, rosemary and something fresh, almost thyme, then an explosion of black fruits (blackberry, candied cherry). Light oak adds a perfect complexity. The mouth is powerful, bulky. It is nicely tannic but the tannins are a well coated relief.
