Gabriel Meffre Saint-Barthélémy Vacqueyras 2020

70% Grenache, 30% Syrah. A stellar wine with liquorice, smoke, floral and red cherry aromas. The palate is savoury but ripe with fresh acidity and beautifully integrated oak. Convincing throughout with notes of olive tapenade, blackberry, dark chocolate, fig and tobacco. Long finish. Pitch-perfect now but still plenty of life ahead. Score - 95.
