    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Ripe, aromatic fruit with the enthralling freshness of the vintage. Simply wonderful. Lovely, long, elegant flavours of damson, cherry and plum with touches of rose and cherry blossom. So svelte and unforced. Breath-taking. Barroche's legendary 100% Grenache cuvée that comes from a plot of 100 year old vines planted on the sandy soils of the Rayas sector, found on the way to Courthezon from Châteauneuf. The wine is fermented gently and aged in unobtrusive large old oak foudres. Only 4,000 bottles of the 2014 was made.

    Josh Raynolds,
    Vinous
    Bright violet. Highly fragrant raspberry, boysenberry, floral pastille and Asian spice scents show excellent clarity and pick up a smoky mineral quality with air. Deeply concentrated but shockingly lithe red and dark berry flavors reach every corner of the palate and show no rough edges. Candied lavender and spicecake qualities emerge on an impressively long, focused and subtly tannic finish that emphatically echoes the blue fruit note.
