The 2016 Lirac Domaine du Clos de Sixte is a terrific wine, easily the rival to many Ch?teauneufs from across the river, starting with its alluring aromas of flowering garrigue and ripe cherries. A blend of 50% Grenache, 35% Syrah and 15% Mourv?dre, this full-bodied wine is lush and concentrated on the palate, then turns velvety on the long finish. I'd treat it like a Ch?teauneuf du Pape in terms of cellaring: hold it for a few years, then drink it over the next 15.
