Score 92/100 · Drink 2016-2026, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, Dec 2016

The Syrah-dominated cuvee is the 2015 Cotes du Ventoux Cuvee Persia (there’s always a splash of Mourvèdre). Aged in foudre, its saturated purple color is followed by terrific notes of blackberries, wild herbs, pepper, violets and campfire. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully textured and seamless, drink this Hermitage-like beauty anytime over the coming decade or more as well.

Mainly Syrah with some Mourvèdre aged in foudre and concrete eggs. Cask sample. Dark crimson. Full, ripe fruit on the nose. Broad and luscious – very savoury. This would stand up well to many 2015 north Rhône reds. Masses of ripe tannins on the end and well-mannered, not brash, ripe fruit. Cool and fresh on the finish. (JR)
