A 50-50 blend of Grenache and Syrah, the 2015 Lirac la Dame Rousse offers hints of tar and black olive on the nose, then follows those up with ripe cherries, cracked pepper and a long, dusty finish.

50% Grenache, 50% Syrah. Destemmed. 12 months in stainless steel. Tank sample. Tasted blind. Glowing crimson. Some real exuberance of fruit with tight tannins on the end. Ambitious even if a tad green on the end. May come right with time. Certainly has lots of energy. (JR)
Moving to the reds from Lirac, the estate releases two cuvées: the base la Dame Rousse and the flagship La Reine des Bois. The 2015 Lirac la Dame Rousse is a top effort from this appellation that has classic, mineral-laced aromas and flavors of blackberries, mulberries, crushed rocks, graphite and peppery herbs. Rich, full-bodied and concentrated, it has lively acidity, notable tannic grip and plenty of length on the finish, all suggesting it will evolve nicely.
