Mas Bécha, La Bergerie du Camps de Nyils, Côtes du Roussillon, Languedoc-Roussillon, France 2015

Gorgeous! What a nose. Ripe crushed blackberries, dried cranberries, plums and incense create a heady, seductive concoction, drawing you in. Licorice and dark chocolate fill out the palate; it's a full, thick, ripe mouthful but it has undeniable, stony freshness. Super silky tannins linger on into the finish, leaving you quite bowled over.
