Generous, layered black fruit on opening: black cherries and blackberries held aloft by underbrush, anise and baking spice aromas. Composed of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah, Domaine Lafond's 2014 Lirac Roc-Epine is softly textured, a deep plunge into black fruit and velvety tannins—it's entirely voluptuous, with no-hard edges, save for spice notes on the finish, black pepper, cigar box, and clove.

Lorca Blanc. Pretty, fruit forward and ripe. Comes across as if there is a hint of RS

Hints of pineapple, citrus, pear, floral (not sure which flower, but a pretty one I am sure). A bit of metal and stone on the palate when initially opening, better the next day.
