Tasting Notes
The nose is intense and concentrated with notes of red and black fruits such as raspberries, blackberries and blueberries and floral notes such as violets. The palate is sweet, juicy and with soft tannins. Its great volume gives the sensation of chewing something soft. Fresh with a long finish.

Expert Reviews
A concentrated and graceful red, offering ripe currant and cherry coulis notes intertwined with rose petal, mineral and anise accents. Details of garrigue, baking spice and brooding mineral create depth through the finish. Moderate, supple tannins. Drink now through 2025.

The top wine in this tasting from Cyril Henriques's Domaine Força Real, the 2018 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Schistes is a certified-organic tank-aged blend of 50% Grenache, 45% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre. It's darker and more saturated than his other cuvées, with hints of licorice and crushed stone on the nose, alongside plummy fruit. In the mouth, it's full-bodied and supple, with silky tannins lining the mouthwatering finish
