Domaine du Silène des Peyrals 2015
Grès de Montpellier, Coteaux du Languedoc, Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceSilène belonged to the Pourcel family, whose twin sons went on to open the now 3-star Michelin restaurant Jardin des Sens. In 2000, the winery was purchased by Robert Skalli. All five southern grape varieties are in the mix – syrah, cinsault, grenache, carignan, mourvèdre - combined with heavy clay site and a warm dry climate to produce a powerful red. The attack is rich and spicy with an intense menthol, dried herb, black fruit mid-palate and finish. The tannins are well managed and there’s more finesse here than you might imagine. Best with grilled lamb at this point but you could cellar this a decade. Good value from a very fine vintage.Tasted: 03 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $26.00 | 750ml | estimated retail |
