Medium-intense notes of black plum, currant and cherry swirl in the bouquet, with supporting tones of wood spice and fudge. It's young and somewhat gripping now, with firmly structured tannins and full black-fruit flavors that linger long on the close. Try after 2018.

Some Banyuls can be pruny, but this version from the Rhône-based firm of Chapoutier is remarkably fresh. The wine's sweet, plummy fruit features herbal touches on the nose, but also enough cocoa-like flavors to pair with chocolate and a softly dusty texture to the finish.
