Tasting notes
This is a really beautiful red with vibrant blackberry, chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. Medium to full body. Tight and compact with a fresh, vivid finish. Focused and bright. Drink now or hold.

70% Mourvèdre, the rest Grenache and Syrah. Aged in 600-litre demi-muids for 20 months. Another insanely heavy bottle. What does this do to the Négly carbon footprint?! Dark brackish red. Smells of spiced tea leaves. Totally savoury, as thick and as bitter as Turkish coffee. Tastes of the caramelised juices you scrape up out of the roast beef pan. Salty, dense, crouches like a dragon. Big, monolithic, dry tannins. Very hot. It’s a dauntingly impressive wine, but for drinkers who enjoy the heat of battle. (TC)
The 2015 La Clape L'Ancely, which is mostly Mourvèdre, is a blockbuster effort offering sensational notes of black raspberries, cured meats, spice and licorice aromas and flavors. This full-bodied, expansive, decadent and hugely concentrated 2015 might be the best vintage of this cuvee to date.
