It is unashamedly rich on the entry: intense and vibrant with layers of black cherry and cassis fruit pierced by a fine line of acidity

a touch of boysenberry jam tucked just underneath

expressive and balsamic like few vintages before

but it's no less "present

lively acids and powdery tannins that assert themselves on the youthfully firm finish

Marcoux, Lirac La Lorentine 2021 750ML burgDC2026 It is unashamedly rich onThe 2021 Lirac La Lorentine is mainly Syrah and Mourvdre, with some Grenache, from a small property the Armeniers began working with in 2003. It's a bit tarry on the nose, but it opens up to reveal black olives and cassis. Medium to full bodied, it's a more linear, focused effort than usual, with a bit of astringency on the finish.
