Château Le Devoy Martine "Via Secreta" Lirac 2023

Vin Chicago: 91+ Points

(6/2026) This rich, dark and opulent blend of 40% Mourvèdre, 25% Syrah, 20% Grenache, and 15% Cinsault showcases aromas and flavors of dried black cherry, blueberry compote and black plum, all layered with charming Southern Rhône accents of peppery spice, classic herbal "garrigue" notes, and a scorched gravel earthiness. Featuring dense fruit, caressing tannins and a streak of lively acidity, the mouthfeel is rather luxurious. This will pair seamlessly with grilled or smoked red meats, hearty red sauce pastas, and even deep dish pizza. While already drinking great, the quality-to-price ratio makes it ideal for grabbing in quantity and laying a few bottles down to enjoy over the coming 3 to 5 years.
