Red. Southern Rhône, France. Biodynamic. Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah. Nice and well made wine. Quite powerful, fruity, and slightly spicy nose. On the palate, a fairly powerful, fruity, minty wine with medium length.
WINE ADVOCATE 92 POINTS - "A fine effort from estate-owned vines, the 2017 Lirac Charles 1er starts off with charming raspberry and strawberry aromas. It's full-bodied and silky, with hints of licorice, dried spices and black cherries on the palate, then firms up on the finish, enough to think it will still be drinking well 10 years from now."
