Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 17, 2022 - Superb. Drank on Super Bowl Sunday. Opened it, decanted it and let it go for an hour or so before we started. I gotta say, this wine was firing on all cylinders. I’ve tasted it many times at events and with reps but this was actually the first time I’ve sat with a bottle of it that had some age. Maybe the 2013 vintage was riper than the usual ripe, Languedoc vintage, I dunno, but this bottle was precocious compared to what I’ve been led to believe a youngish Mas de Daumas Gassac rouge might be like. It was real plush in a way that my friend, who I blinded with this, suspected it was a Savigny-les-Beaune from a vintage like 2015. It did not drink very much like a Cabernet Sauvignon dominant blend wine. At all.
Anyhow, main take-aways are blue fruits, liquorice, herbs, the finesse you'd associate with any great wine and a coolness to it - as in temperature and an effortless character. More please.
