Manfred Krankl goes bananas over La Pèira.
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010Manfred Krankl, grundare av och vinmakare på Sine Qua Non och en av världens största vinpersonligheter, fick smaka La Pèira 2007 och blev så förtjust att han gick in och skrev en post på Robert Parkers forum om det:
“I want to put forth a terrific wine recommendation to you all. It is of wine I had never heard of before, but one I surely won’t forget any time soon.
My friend Eric Solomon was kind enough to gift me a bottle of 2007 Terrasses du Larzac “La Peira”. I believe (although I am not 100% sure) it is a cuvée of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre and just an absolutely delicious and complex wine in every sense.It has exactly what I cherish in a wine and what I strive for with my own wines – a sunny disposition, full, ripe flavors, but nothing at all over the top here, nothing two-square or clumsy, but rather just a delightful potpourri of dark berry fruit and maybe some dried flowers….if memory serves correctly. Beautifully nuanced and layered, thought provoking and detailed, but rich and mouth-coating at the same time. What a wine.I have no idea what it costs, but just about whatever it is –buy it!
One of best new wine discoveries for me this year so far.
Cheers.
