Domaine Coursodon Silice 2018

A little Kalamata olive brings a savoury edge to the fruit. Ripe but not overly sweet, this is very well balanced, with great softness and plushness of tannin. The alcohol is a little higher than usual but this is a lovely wine. A blend of several parcels grown on granite slopes with an average age of 30 years. All destemmed, aged for 12 months in barriques and demi-muids for 12 months. Drinking window: 2020-2023. Score – 93. (Matt Walls, decanter.com, Sept. 30, 2019)
