2012 Domaine Les Bastide ‘Valéria’ Provence Rouge

WSI 93, WS 92: Maturing, but still has guts, with a beefy edge to the core of plum, black currant and fig fruit. Ample worn leather and dark tobacco notes hold sway through the finish. A charcoal spine is wellburied throughout. Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache. Drink now through 2020. 1,100 cases made.
