2013 Plan de l'Homme Sapiens Terrasses Du Larzac

Showing lots of Syrah character in its crème de cassis, licorice, graphite and peppery smoked herbs, the 2013 Terrasses du Larzac Sapiens is medium-bodied, elegant and nicely balanced, with a more finesse driven style than the deeper, richer 2012. A blend of 70% Syrah, 20% Grenache and the rest Carignan, aged 18 months mostly in barrel, it has a modern sheen as well as the more focused, linear style of the vintage. It will be better this time next year and have 10-15 years of overall longevity.
