Description

Domaine de l'Horizon Cotes Catalanes Rouge 2017Produced from two thirds Carignan and one third Grenache, from vines between 40 and 120 years of age (as of 2015), the 2013 struggled to achieve a yield of 15 hectoliters per hectare. The nose offers intense black cherry with pungent mineral depth and ultra high toned but savory herbal accents. It feels young but tastes great, and, as we learned from a little vertical stretching back to 2008, this wine will blossom into something pure and inviting.
