"This innovative Lirac is powerful and structured, showing excellent black-fruit, black-olive and dried wild-thyme aromas. Compact and straight with deep base notes. So much licorice in the dark yet lively finish. A limited-production cuvee dominated by mourvedre with a touch of counoise. Matured in demi-muids (oak casks)."
