A solid step up over the classic Seguret (which is no slouch), the 2012 Seguret Grande Reserve is 65% Grenache and 35% Syrah, from 60-year-old vines, that spent time in 40% oak barrels and the rest in tank. Deep, ripe and layered, with notable freshness and purity in its full-bodied, savory, Provencal personality, it offers lots of dark fruits, dried earth, licorice, crushed rock and dried spice characteristics. There's substantial structure here, so give it a few years in the cellar, it will drink nicely through 2022.
