My favorite of the 2012s, the 2012 Igp Côtes Catalanes Secret de Schistes comes from the Agly Valley and higher elevation, brown schist soils. Like the other releases here, it’s 100% Syrah fermented and aged all in new barrels. This insanely good Syrah offers loads of blackcurrants, graphite, crushed rock and licorice aromatics, with floral and violet notes developing with time in the glass. Every bit as impressive on the palate, with full-bodied richness, impeccable balance and sweet tannin, drink it anytime over the coming decade.
