    Château Coussin César à Sumeire Coussin (Red) 2021 - Highly RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Opaque ruby red. Struck match, leather, and Syrah reductiveness on the nose alongside opulently ripe fruit, pot pourri, wild flowers, and orange blossom. On the palate, toastiness, black fruit, and some rich opulence meet quite firm, very crisp, and remarkably fresh mineral tannins. A hint of black schistous minerality grounds the profile. Soft and easy drinking, though it needs decanting to get rid of the reductive iffiness and fully open out. Full of the sunshine of Provence, softened by a very modern attitude to freshness and rosé minerality.
