Tasting notes
Deep, dark, ruby-red in color. The aromas are of raspberry & mulberry fruit. The palate shows a vivid, spicy raspberry & redcurrant fruit that is lifted by lovely freshness. The mid-palate displays spicy raspberry & loganberry fruit with sweet-licorice notes. The fine structure includes cedary oak with lovely, exotic cinnamon & ginger spice touches at the finish. The flavors last so well.
Expert Ratings
James Suckling 94/100
Dark berries, leather, pencil lead, roasted meat, dried herbs, bell peppers, cumin, bay leaves and some stones. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and crisp acidity, yet it has more intensity to deliver on the mid-palate. It’s poised with a restrained power. Harmonious and agile with great balance and vitality. Long, crunchy and developing finish. Try after 2026
Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous 90/100
The elegant 2021 Rouge offers discrete raspberry and violet alongside rustic and leafy undertones. Sporting less flavour concentration and overall intensity compared to the surrounding vintages, 2021 is a delicate and laid-back Mas de Daumas Gassac that shouldn’t take too long to come around.
