Château Paul Mas Clos des Mûres 2023

Complex and intense with a spicy nose. Blackberries, cumin, dried thyme, black chocolate, tobacco leaves and blackcurrants. Full-bodied yet well-balanced with a creamy texture to the smoothly honed tannins. Vibrant strawberries and cherries before a long, spicy finish. Syrah and grenache. Drink or hold. Score – 93.
