2024 Côtes du Rhône Rouge 'Sierra du Sud' Basically, my dream of Syrah; this is produced entirely from old (70 year old) vines from the Gramenon estate and delivers pure, billowing aromas of blackberry, black raspberry, violet, lightly seared meat and gravel. Plush and velvety in the mouth, it has sensual tannins and lively acidity that give it a super definition, shape and long finish. This is one of my favourite wines of anywhere every single year and I am assured by Maxime we have another absolute beauty in 2023.
