$60.00
Description
This is the fourth most highly rated Rasteau Vin Doux Naturel wine (based on critic scores).
16.5 Points, Alistair Cooper MW: "Tasted blind. Violet, garrigue and crushed-raspberry nose. The palate is layered, deep and has succulent precise tannins along with violets, spiced black tea and red fruits. The alcohol is well integrated. Delicious and will age very, very well indeed." - JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2023
92 Points, Decanter Magazine: "Raisined fruit, fruitcake and prune on the nose with a hint of leaf tea. It’s exceptionally sweet and concentrated, with strong acidity and quite robust, ripe tannins. The balance and freshness is likely to see this age for a very long time. A leviathan of a wine that will probably last forever. 95g/L residual sugar."
100% Grenache Noir. Fermentation arrested by the addition of 10% neutral marc (96% alcohol). Aged for 18 months in concrete vats. RS 95 g/l. In conversion to organic. Tank sample.
