2016 Salanques checks in as 65% Grenache (from 80-year-old vines) and the balance Carignan and Syrah, all of which was destemmed and spent 14 months in new and once-used barrels. Giving up a rocking bouquet of plum and blueberry fruits intermixed with plenty of minerality, violets, and hints of iodine, it's medium to full-bodied, loaded with fruit, has a stacked mid-palate, and loads of character.
