Tasting note
Meaty and peppery, bright black fruit. Medium tannins, lovely spicy boldness. More charm than the Minervois - the Syrah character really shines. Score - 17 (out of 20 (Superior)). (Richard Hemming, MW, jancisrobinson.com, March 12, 2014)
This dry purplish red coloured wine features medium woody, empyreumatic, spicy, floral, fruity and vegetal scents and offers a broad texture as well as firm tannins.
This St Chinian one of the very best wines to come out of the Languedoc. It is balanced and luscious with top notes of sweet herbs and berry to balance. Try with grilled chorizo.
