Famille Isabel Ferrando Beatus Ille Côtes du Rhône 2021

Seductive with an aromatic cornucopia of red and black fruits. Generous supple tannins give this a gentle chalky texture on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Long, silky finish. From vines just outside the border of the Chateauneuf-du-Pape appellation. A cuvee of 80% grenache and 20% syrah, matured entirely in concrete. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold [through 2031+]. (Stuart Pigott,jamessuckling.com,April 9, 2025)
