Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Nice nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Showing red fruits with light oak, licorice and chocolate notes.
Nice length on the finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a very tasty 5 year old GSM blend from Lirac. Nicely balanced and elegant, with mild complexity. The high alcohol is well integrated by now.
Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.
A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Aged in concrete tanks and 15% large French oak barrels.
15.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

I was going through my La Chapelle section today and my eyes got stuck on this 1999 - bottle looked absolutely pristine and I decided it was a perfect age to drink. Cork was in great condition and the wine was powerful and youthful with no signs of oxidation. Could have kept the bottle for a few more years, but it was probably perfect today. All the complex leathery earthy goodness you expect from this wine was there. — 4 months ago
