Thunevin Calvet, Trois Marie Vintage:2015 dense wine by Salon standards

dense wine by Salon standards

finishing smooth

so much so that it is quite difficult to even discern the tannins but they are there

A subtle whiff of exotic fruit can be found on the lightly wooded aromas of mineral reduction

there is a floral quality here that I loved and hadn't seen in previous vintages of this single-vineyard red

Thunevin Calvet, Trois Marie Vintage:2015 dense wine by Salon standardsFrom 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.
