Fairly exuberant in style for this famous bottling, yet with that rocky frame intact, this vintage's blend of 35% Grenache, 34% Mourvèdre, 17% Cinsaut and 14% Syrah hits the nose with aromas of baked blackberry, toasty Dr Pepper spice and dried meat. The palate is tense with leathery tannins, offering cranberry, dried cherry, hibiscus and black-tea flavors.
