Mas des Bressades Cuvée Tradition Rouge 2022 Organic, 0,75 L

A cuvée that offers both enjoyment and unexpected depth for its price. Wine enthusiast, Parker, and other critics consistently award this wine 90 points or more. Unbelievable but true, Cyril Mares ages the wine in concrete tanks for a year to achieve perfect harmony before bottling.

In the glass, it presents a dense, dark red hue, nearly opaque, with a delicate purple rim, hinting at its complexity on the palate.

Surprisingly dense and spicy on the nose for an "entry-level wine," with abundant notes of blackberry, blueberry, and cherry, accompanied by a touch of olive. The palate reveals rich garrigue flavours—typical herbal notes intertwined with hints of leather and subtle minerality. The tannins are ripe and substantial, complemented by good acidity, which could use a touch more, though this is nitpicking given the wine's overall quality. The finish is fruity, medium-long, and leaves the palate refreshed—truly satisfying.

An impressively powerful and multi-layered wine that unequivocally delivers for its price—it's a genuine highlight. In blind tastings, it consistently surprises and delights.
