Domaine Richaud Cairanne Tradition red 2022 MAGNUM

Guide RVF des Meilleurs Vins de France 2025  (August 2024): 93/100. The Cairanne is wonderfully fleshy, reveals the full maturity of the fruit, and presents a rich mouthfeel with beautiful tannic structure. Beautiful expressive fruit (spices), with syrah dominating the aromas (peppery nuance). The palate is rich, defined by a serious and concentrated framework. The tannins coat with a lovely relief. The juice is deep. Peak 2024-2029.
