Calice 2004, Mas de la Barben - R.Parker 92 Points

Mas de la Barben
Nimes, AC Languedoc, France

Three vines: Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault

'Primarily Grenache that was aged in 600-litre demi-muids, it exhibits tremendous amounts of kirsch liqueur, herbes de Provence, pepper, leather, and earth characteristics. With gorgeous fruit, a big, sweet texture, and a long, heady finish, it should drink well for 5-8 years.' Robert Parker: 92 points.
