2015 Cotes du Roussillon Cuvee Silex

The 2015 AOP Cotes du Roussillon Villages Tautavel Silex could end up being a true blockbuster and is certainly up with the crème de la crème of the vintage. Based on 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Carignan, from more than 50-year-old vines and aged all in tank, it offers a full-bodied, ripe and sexy style to go with classic notes of cassis, pepper and graphite, with building minerality. It’s a seriously good wine that tastes like it costs three times its going rate.
