Community Tasting Note

Thursday, September 27, 2018 - Charleston Offlineorama IV; 9/27/2018-10/1/2018 (Charleston, NC (various locations)): Final wine of Burg Thurs - paired with Pain d'Epices Bread Budding with sourwood honeyed apples. My first time getting to try a Rivesaltes which I was really excited about. This is just really interesting stuff. A blend of many white Rhone grapes (grenache blanc maybe the primary) and fortified with grape spirit - then forgotten about in the cellar for many decades. This is very warming on the palate, yet the vinous quality is not overwhelmed by the fortification. It tastes of golden raisins, peaches and apricots with warm baking spices and spine of acidity that brightens the palate. I really enjoyed this and for my husband it was his wine of the night.
