the 2020 Old Vine Series Skurfberg offers intoxicating aromas of citrus blossom

A broad-ranging nose features notes of menthol

It’s always based on 50+-year-old Grenache vines (95% or higher) and is aged all in older foudre

There is outstanding intensity to the rather refined medium weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the youthfully austere finish that also could use a bit more depth to achieve the upper end of my projected range

Lignier-Michelot other_regions_italy the 2020 Old Vine Series(from a . 30 ha parcel). Deeply hued. There is a vaguely exotic quality to the spicy aromas of orange peel, jasmine tea, cinnamon and black cherry scents. The super sleek palate impression of the medium bodied flavors is due largely to the very fine grained tannins shaping the stony, tautly muscular and sneaky long finish. This is really lovely and should age accordingly.
