CHATEAU D’AUSSIERES 2014

Blackcurrants, spice-box, smoked herbs and hints of tobacco all emerge from the gorgeously textured, ripe and polished 2014 Corbières. Made from 60% Syrah, 15% Grenache, 15% Carignan and 10% Mourvèdre, it’s medium to full-bodied, elegant and silky on the palate, with present, yet ripe tannin, and impeccable balance. Drink it anytime over the coming decade.
