Vaulorent was not classified as Grand Cru for a purely political issue
Weaving in freshness and length

Clos Figueras Font de la Figuera (Garnacha, Cariñena, Syrah, Cab Sauv) 2019 shriaz Yields are kept lowThis flavorful effort should drink well through 2020. The 2005 Clos Figueres, a blend of Garnacha, Carinena, Syrah, and Mourvedre, is opaque purple colored. It delivers a complex and expressive perfume of smoky oak, pencil lead, mineral, spice box, black cherry, blueberry, and black raspberry. This leads to a dense, opulent wine that still manages to retain some elegance. Ripe and sweet, this hedonistic effort should evolve for 3 5 years and drink
