2015 Gerard Bertrand Clos d'Ora Minervois la Liviniere

A blend of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre and Carignan this is the vineyard that Gerard Bertrand is lobbying to get elevated to grand cru status.  A very rich bouquet with a soy/umami character cured charcuterie, dark plum and a bit of animal very complex bouquet.  A complex wine and layered on the finish has some dry tannins here at the end but plenty of fruit to match, needs time maybe 7-10 years.  Finish 50+              Most Excellent
