Tasting Notes
JancisRobinson.com – 16.5+
40% Syrah, 40% Mourvèdre and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, matured for two years in a combination of used and new oak barrels. Mellow shaded ruby. Sweet but lifted and interesting. Polished and racy with a very savoury finish. Far from concentrated – rather modern transparent style! Very digestible.
Anticipated maturity: 2017-2025
Robert Parker – 91
Slightly deeper ruby in color than the 2011, the 2013 Grange des Peres offers a terrific bouquet of black cherries, black raspberries, peppery herbs, wet rocks and hints of new saddle leather. This medium-bodied, nicely concentrated, elegant red is already hard to resist (it benefits from a decant) and will keep for a decade.
Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026
