Piedlong 2021 – Wine Spectator – Kristen Bieler – Mars 2025

2021 Piedlong (94)

An elegant, lighter style — partly a reflection of the leaner vintage — packed with impressive energy and complexity. Rose petal, white pepper and incense smoke notes infuse red berry flavors, all powered by a bright beam of acidity. Fine-grained tannins show polish and appeal through the refined, alluring finish, with graphite etchings. Grenache and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2040. 290 cases imported.
