A step up, yet tasted out of barrel, the 2012 Coteaux du Languedoc La Clape La Falaise offers additional richness and depth, with loads of blackberry, chocolate, licorice and toasted bread aromas and flavors. Comprised of 55% Syrah, 35% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre that was aged in demi-muid (Syrah) and oak tanks (Grenache and Mourvedre), it’s a medium to full-bodied, seamless, elegant effort to drink over the coming 7-8 years. 90-92 points
