This wine is an equal-part blend of Syrah, Mourvedre and Grenache aged in oak barrels for nine months prior to bottling. It is never meant to be drunk in its exuberant youth unless the vintage permits it, and this particular wine is from the very muscular, tannic and concentrated 2010 vintage, so it needs a good 3-4 years of cellaring (which is unusual for a Cotes du Rhone). Opaque purple, with loads of black currants, graphite, crushed rock and pepper, the aromatics have to be coaxed from the glass of this masculine, tannic, full-bodied, super-concentrated wine. The tannins dominate at present, so forget it for another several years and drink it over the following 10-15 years.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThis has been a reliable producer of terrific values in the Cotes du Rhone (and for their Tavel rose) for a number of years, and they have once again done an admirable job.\u003cstrong\u003e-Robert Parker  \u003cspan class=\"whiteTxt\" id=\"ctl00_ContentMaster_DataList1_ctl00_sourceLabel\"\u003eWine Advocate #201 Jun 2012\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e89+ Points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Segries (Chateau)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948737687599,"sku":"F0EE226010RRL","price":23.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/segrie-s-lanzac-clos-de-l-hermitage-2010","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
