What the experts say...

"Bright, shocking purple. 89% Garnacha, 11% Cinsault (a lower percentage of Cinsault than usual, as the Garnacha was so good in 2013). Extrovert red fruit with a lovely raspberry syrup character. Super quality, and with miraculous acidic freshness on the finish, as well as a slight medicinal aroma.", Richard Hemming MW
