THE WINE DOCTOR.COM – MARS 2010

A super-cuvée from the Bruniers, this is 90% old-vine Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre, raised in 30-hectolitre used oak casks. A rich fruit nose, sweet and ripe, certainly concentrated, not in the slightest bit confit or jammy. The palate has a supple, velvety substance and a charcoaly, tannic grip which I like. Good acids, and a long, grippy finish with a savoury twist. 17 /20
