Mas des Brousses Terrasses du Larzac 2017 ALBARIÑO hint of peppermintA blend of 50% Mourvdre (the cuttings came from Domaine Tempier, in Bandol) and 25% each Grenache and Syrah, all matured in 400 liter barrels, the 2017 Terrasses du Larzac kicks off with scents of resinous herbs and pine, then adds crushed stones, plums and violets. It's medium to full bodied and silky textured, with an almost racy spine of acidity that brightens the long finish.
