Château St Louis La Perdrix, Réserve, Costières de Nîmes

This is the only unfinished wine in today’s selection, and will go on sale in autumn of this year. It’s a blend of Syrah with 30% Grenache and 10% Carignan. Dark black in colour, this wine has aromas of settled berry and pastille fruits which have unusual fragrance, lift and complexity. The palate is deep, mellow and soft, with an incense-like complexity to the fruit and an expansive finishing spiciness. 89-91 points.
