Domaine Santa Duc : Clos Derrière Vieille 2015

Mostly (80%) grenache with 10% each of mourvèdre and syrah. There's a very impressive, sheer and crunchy texture to the palate and a peppery edge. Tannins drive a long, powerful finish. Best from 2020.

Reductive nose, slightly animal. Delicate palate, but a bit too much. Disappointing. We’ll taste it again next year.
