Château du Prieuré des Mourgues 2012 Grande Réserve Red (Saint-Chinian)

Country: France / Grande Réserve
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Languedoc-Roussillon
Winery: Château du Prieuré des Mourgues / Saint-Chinian

A blend of 70% Syrah, 20% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre, this wine is quite perfumed, with intense aromas of spiced black cherry, forest berry and licorice. The medium-weight palate is plush and mouthfilling, with velvety tannins lending structure to the ripe black-fruit flavors, alongside a touch of graphite. The enduring finish beams with notes of licorice and black pepper.
