Charles Tort Old Vines 2015

Fiona scored this wine: 91/100

Charles Tort is a gem of a wine! I love the 2013, but the 2015 is deeper, richer and slightly spicier. I don't tire of this wine and it a perfect 'go-to' for every occasion. It's soft fruit is extremely approachable but it has a depth of character which makes it work with richer foods. It's a great bridge between Old World and New World styles--heaps of fresh, ripe fruit, balanced acidity and more complexity that you'd expect to find in this price point.
