Thunevin Calvet, Trois Marie Size:6x750ml A gorgeous and ultra-elegant noseFrom a vintage that saw a fair bit of rain at the end of the season, the 2015 Ctes Du Roussillon Villages Les Trois Marie (65% Grenache and 35% Syrah) has lots of plum, tobacco, iron, and peppery herb like notes as well as a concentrated, powerful style on the palate. This is a ripe, textured, straight up sexy Roussillon with no hard edges and a great, great finish. It has at least another decade of prime drinking ahead of it.
