Maison Sinnae, Les Argeliers 2022 – Vacqueyras

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The first nose is a little reduced and expresses notes of roasted meat and leather. After aeration, it expresses notes of roasted fruit (roasted red cherry, roasted red plum), crushed strawberry, prunes and chocolate morello cherry, combined with notes of dried bay leaf, licorice, dried peppermint, nutmeg, white pepper, violet and peony. On the palate, the wine is concentrated, juicy and robust. It expresses notes of fresh morello cherry, wild strawberry, dark plum in chocolate, dried blackcurrant, red chocolate cherry, as well as dry bay leaf, mint chocolate, a hint of coffee, white pepper, sweet tobacco, fresh violet, fresh peony and a slight touch of leather in the background. The tannins are firm, but have a fine grain, the acidity is lively and salivating, which allows the tannin structure to be enveloped. The finish is gourmand, sapid, very fruity and chocolatey. A concentrated, full-bodied wine, but fresh and airy.
