2018 La Pierre Noire, Saint Jean du Barroux, Ventoux
Just 5,000 bottles of this were produced in 2018, with 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah. It's very rich and spicy with densely packed tannins, bold but starting to soften. Full of black berry fruit and notes of dark chocolate and rosemary. There's a lot of weight here, with fresh, cool acidity cutting through the richness.
