91-94 WA. "Up with the crème de la crème of the vintage, the 2014 Vinsobres Confidence is a blend of equal parts Grenache and Syrah that was completely destemmed and aged 12 months in two-year-old barrels. It offers subtle barrique notes as well as ample cassis, black raspberry, toasted spice and creamy licorice-like aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully concentrated (especially in the vintage) and with ultra-fine tannin, this is a rock star effort from this up and coming appellation. It will have a decade or more of longevity." Wine Advocate #223, Mar 2016 |
