FINE+RARE, Jun 2023
The 2019 E-Virtus is fantastic. The style of Syrah grown here in the Minervois vineyards at Hegarty Chamans has a lovely balance of Northern-Rhône-like savouriness with added riper, plush mid-palate fruity tones. There is a lovely spice note to the blackberry and blueberry coulis fruit flavours as well as licorice and light gamey notes adding complexity. Aged in 30% new French oak, there is a lovely layering of tannins to the wine and the finish is wonderfully silky.
