2019 Chemin de Moscou

Full bottle 1,389 g. Certified Ecocert organic. 64% Syrah, 29% Grenache, 7% Cinsault. The 2019 reminds me much more of the 2017 than the 2018. This is full-throated cherry song, shining-glossy-gleaming with the pure joy of the fruit tumbling, laisser-aller, out the glass. Tannins that feel like the iridescence of pheasant feathers. Pomegranate soprano, sumac spice on the alto with a lick of milk chocolate, rose petals dipped in mica dust on the tenor and petrichor on the bass. A subtle, shimmering gradation of flavour and a finish that ripples out in ever-widening circles like a pebble thrown into a still lake. (TC)
