A barrel aged blend of 40% Syrah, 30% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache and 10% Carignan, the 2012 Collioure Cyrcee is a fair step back from the blockbuster 2010 and offers a touch of over ripeness in its iodine, dried herb, meaty and ripe personality. It lacks a touch of freshness, yet is still a solid, medium-bodied, character-filled wine to drink over the coming 3-4 years.
