2009 Metaries du Clos "Vignes Vignes"

Norbert says:
Grenache, Carignon and Cinsault and in some years also ancient Syrah vines that are close to 100 years old. Intense and dense. Long pepper, olives, dried tomatoes, less fruity than spicy. Barrique herbs and forest blackberries. Enormously exciting and complex. Fine, juicy start with gripping acidity and wildly spicy length. Delicious border crosser that will cause controversial conversations. The delicate fruit in the finish leads to reconciliation. Expected maturity now until 2029.
