A solidly built version, with crushed cherry and plum puree notes that meld with melted red licorice before singed juniper takes over on the finish. This has guts and range.
2024 André Brunel Côtes du Rhône Villages “Cuvée Sabrine” earned 92 pts (James Suckling): textured and medium-bodied, with sweet cherry, dried herbs, spice and fine tannins. Drink now or cellar 2-5 years.
Domaine de Beaurenard Rasteau 2021 shows blackberry, plum, licorice, pepper, and garrigue with rich yet fresh structure. Full-bodied and balanced, it earned 90–93 pts for its depth, elegance, and refined Southern Rhône character with aging potential.
