"There’s no missing the huge black-fruit character of this full-bodied but well-balanced Lirac. Excellent integration of tannins, fruit and alcohol, Touches of tar, licorice and Mediterranean herbs add interest, particularly at the supple finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

"Deep, dusky, expressive, and decisively luxurious, with rich, ripe notes of blackberry, espresso, and dark chocolate layered atop a suede texture that caresses and satisfies."

"The 2021 Lirac Clos de Sixte shows the more focused, mid-weight style of the vintage, yet brings attractive notes of red and black cherry along with some background peppery herbs, medium body, and a good finish. Based on 50% Grenache, 35% Syrah, and 15% Mourvèdre, drink this complex, satisfying Lirac over the coming 4-5 years."

"This wine is intensely juicy with overripe blackberries and cassis with soft accents of fresh thyme, rosemary and black peppercorn. Full-bodied and balanced, its vibrant acidity tempers youthful tannins and gives way to a ripe, red-fruited mid-palate. A savory layer follows, loaded with crushed blackberry, briny black olives, granite and flaky salt. Aerate well before enjoying. — Anna-Christina CABRALES"
