JEB DUNNUCK 96 POINTS - "The estate's GSM blend of 42% Grenache, 33% Syrah, and 25% Mourvèdre, the 2023 Sagacious was fermented in concrete with 20% whole clusters and aged 19 months in 86% French oak (36% new) and 14% foudre. Ripe red and black fruits, peppery garrigue, cured meats, and sandalwood-like nuances all define this fabulous, complex wine. It's medium to full-bodied, rich, and mouth-filling, with building tannins, remarkable purity, and a great finish. Don't miss this beauty, which should cruise for 10-15 years in cold cellars. Drink 2026-2041."
ANTONIO GALLONI'S VINOUS MEDIA 95 POINTS - "A whiff of confectionery spice and pine shavings gives way to incense and clove-infused strawberries as the multi-layered 2023 Sagacious blossoms in the glass. This displays lovely form, round and soothingly soft, with depths of ripe wild berry fruit supported by brisk acidity. An air of violet pastille lingers over a pleasantly bitter tinge of tart blackberry, all framed by edgy tannins that add grip without detracting from the experience. The Sagacious is a blend of 42% Grenache, 33% Syrah and 25% Mourvèdre, fermented with 20% whole clusters."
