September 23, 2020 RSS FEED WineSpectator.com: Daily Wine Picks

This has a bold, sappy core, featuring kirsch and cherry paste flavors, wrapped in thick black licorice notes and backed by warm anise and fruitcake elements. Cut on the finish keeps this honest. Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Counoise, Terret, Picpoul and Picardan. Best from 2021 through 2030.
