Thunevin Calvet, Trois Marie

Thunevin Calvet, Trois MarieFrom 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.

I am very interested to see these wines again in the year 2030

This beauty will need at least a few years of keeping first and should amply reward 10 to 12

Ripe aromas of apple and pear compote possess more prominent floral nuances along with hints of wood toast and just sliced fennel

along with a suggestion of succulent herbs

and it seems like the longer cycle and the slow ripening burned some acidity
