2022 | Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils Lirac | Rhône Gisborne juicy and rose bush finish

juicy and rose bush finish

its deep purple/plum color is followed by a smorgasbord of black raspberry and kirsch like fruits

and a ripe acidity

thyme and sweet black tea as your bedmates

but give it two or three years to come around

2022 | Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils Lirac | Rhône Gisborne juicy and rose bush finishThe 2022 Lirac is 60% Grenache, 20% Mourvdre, and 10% each of Syrah and Cinsault that saw a splash of stems and is still resting all in foudre. Ripe black cherries, black licorice, and peppery, savory herb notes all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with medium to full bodied richness, a layered, mouth filling texture, and outstanding length.
