Region Rhone Valley

Producer Chateau Fortia
Size 750 ml
Intense ruby red color with purple reflections. The very first nose is very mineral: ink, schist. Then with aeration, all the dark fruitiness develops: ripe blackcurrant, cherry jam, bay leaf and Espelette pepper. The palate is remarkably balanced, with great density but elegant. The sweetness softens the tannic sensations, the mineral tension tightens the wine to infuse it with beautiful energy. The tannins are voluminous but very silky. Very persistent. Notes of black fruits, olive, graphite and zan at the end.

This perfumed blend of Grenache (50%), Syrah (35%) and Mourvèdre (15%) fills the glass with plumes of brooding black fruit, anise and lavender. Compared with the producer's more peppy Tradition bottling, it's a massively concentrated, brooding sip edged by firm, gripping tannins. It needs a bit of time but should drink gorgeously from 2023 to 2037. Anna Lee C. Iijima
