Baron Arques, Limoux Rouge Vintage:2022 but the wines rarely failEvoking aromas of licorice, oak, spices, earth and dark berries mingled with vanilla pod, the 2022 Limoux from Domaine de Baronarques possesses a medium to full bodied, concentrated and dense palate with structured tannins, segueing into a long, penetrating and licorice inflected finish. Well crafted and balanced, this is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, though the exact proportions remain unknown.
