Grand Veneur "Clos de Sixte" Lirac 2007

Deep purple/red.

Opened several hours ago. Nose of citrus peel, cracked pepper, hazelnut and earth. Vibrant. Would guess this to be Central Coast CA Syrah in a blind tasting.

Deep and lifted in the mouth - even a bit aggressive in its initial bright citrus flavor impact. Tightly wound thanks to strong acidity. Shows deeper black fruit, tomato and iron flavors late. Acid/tannin synergy coats the front teeth - chewy.


$25. 50% Grenache, 35% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre
