Chateau Paul Mas Clos du Moulinas Pézenas 2015

Coteaux du Languedoc, Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceClos du Moulinas sits 80-100 meters above sea level on clay and limestone with fossilized seashell rocks. The blend is roughly 55/45 syrah/grenache, and the syrah plants are 29 to 49-years-old while the grenache is now over 50-years-old. The ferment is done in stainless steel and concrete vats. All the wine is aged in French oak with 40 percent undergoing its malolactic fermentation in oak barrels. There is a fine intensity here, with bright, floral, black fruits, savoury tapenade, licorice, tobacco with a fine film of oak and spice. The balance is perfect, the tannins rich and dense, but silky, suggesting this will age well for a decade. A fine vintage.Tasted: 03 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
