This vintage had mellowed since my last visit, with some beefy, meaty aromatic notes joining the attractively rounded fruits. The blend here brings 57% of Syrah together with 17% of Grenache, 10% of Mourvèdre and 16% carbonically macerated Carignan. The palate is more substantial than in 2013 and the acids a little less insistent and more successfully bonded with the fruit; there are, too, more of the refreshingly aromatic bitter notes often called herbal (thyme and rosemary) in Languedoc wines.
