Und wieder einmal ist der Domaine Lafage Bastide Miraflors Syrah & Grenache Vieilles Vignes ein bei den Kritikern als Preis/Genuss-Wunder gefeierter Wein, auch Im Jahrgang 2019!
Verkostungsnotiz von Joe Czerwinski vom 23.09.2021:
The 2019 Côtes du Roussillon Bastide Miraflors is a blend of 70% Syrah (vinified as whole bunches and aged in 20% new demi-muids) and 30% Grenache (destemmed and aged in concrete). Hints of peppery spice, vanilla and woodsmoke accent the blueberry-scented nose, while the full-bodied palate is ripe, supple and concentrated, adding hints of black cherries, chocolate and licorice on the long finish. It's hard to top this sort of quality at the suggested retail of $19.
Jeb Dunnuck vergibt diese Note und Beschreibung für den JG 2018 (2019 ist noch nicht bewertet)
Based on 74% Syrah and 26% Grenache brought up in in a combination of concrete tanks (for the Grenache) and one year old demi-muids (for the Syrah), the 2018 Cotes Du Roussillon Bastide Miraflors is a knockout bottle of wine. It offers loads of black fruits, roasted herbs, peppered meat, violets, and bacon fat as well as full-bodied richness, a round, opulent style, ripe tannins, and a blockbuster finish. It’s one of the finest values out there.
