Darker color; peanuts on the nose along with dark fruit; cedar, leather, dark fruit continues, enough acid and freshness though a little less drinkability than I like.
Young, sweet candied fruit on the nose, slight cinnamon, still a bit reduced, strawberry, light cherry, watermelon; palate is pent up and youthful, red fruit, lighter, reductive, with air the cinnamon came out a bit and Nebbiolo character came out; give this some time.
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Dark maroon with bright garnet rim; smoky, raspberry, gingerbread, garrigue, floral, deep, sexy; layers of Grenache fruit, sweet, restrained ripeness though larger scaled, bitter finish, garrigue, sour cherry, plush texture; like the nobility coming through on this young CdP.
Light yellow; slight honey, very spicy dusty mineral, lemon, and a little lime, also floral; firm palate, solid, high acid, honeysuckle, lemon, golden apple, strong mineral, long, noble, no longer the shrillness of young Riesling this had nice fat to it; very good.
Loved the Riesling, but the Usseglio was really impressive. Like the 2012s for their restrained fruit. Normally I get lots of blue fruit from young R. Usseglio.
2014 Domaine de la Mordorée La Remise Rosé
France, Vin de France
Deep pink; sweet strawberry, Double Bubble chewing gum; nice mouthfeel, enough acid; in between a Cotes de Provence rosé and Tavel; very tasty.
