Jean de Roquefeuil and Mathieu Mocquet wanted to show two of their preferred older vintages during this tasting (about 600 bottles are reserved for longer ageing every year), and this vintage presented itself more attractively than when I tasted back in 2016. The blend combines 70% Syrah with 18% Mouvèdre and 12% Grenache. Look out for plums, currants and unlit tobacco-leaf notes in a lively, brisk, poised style; the extra cellar years have brought a mellow aromatic warmth to upholster those fruits.
