Bastide Miraflors Syrah/Vieilles Vignes Grenache 2021

Rich cherries with some dried flowers, grilled spice, herbs, dark earth and black walnuts. Supple and round on the palate with a medium to full body, wrapped by caressing tannins. Grenache and syrah. Drink now [or hold until 2027]. Score – 91. (Zekun Shuai, jamessuckling.com, Aug. 23, 2023)
