Domaine Amido Lirac

A splendidly perfumed nose that is so classic of Grenache: raspberry pastis, market strawberries, forest floor, black licorice candy, violets, and warm spice. The 2014 Domaine Amido Lirac is fresh and vibrant on the palate, with a sweet-fruited raspberry turnover core supported by ultra-fine tannins. The finish, while not lengthy, offers bay leaf and spice. I poured myself another glass without giving it a second thought, something I rarely do with samples. 50% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, 20% Syrah | 13.0% …

This is a very drinkable wine and a good value at $16. Tobacco, clove, light fruit, almost absent of tannins but has good depth, not too light. This bottle vanished frighteningly quickly. I will likely go back and buy more.
