Community Tasting Note

FamousWine Likes this wine:

Sunday, April 7, 2024 - This is a blend from the south of France with 50% Syrah, 25% Mourvèdre, 15% Grenache and 10% Carignan. It was aged for 8 to 10 months, 20% in barrels and 80% in vats. The first day is a disappointment because we are confronted with an imposing and very persistent reduction despite a generous and energetic decanting. Anyway, we drank it during Sunday lunch but without much pleasure. The second half of the bottle was tasted again the next day at noon: this time it is much, much better. Very beautiful nose, of great purity, with aromas of sweet red fruits, scents of abundantly flowery Mediterranean scrubland, a little leather as well as very beautiful sweet spices. The weight in the mouth is rather light. The tannins are barely perceptible. The palate delivers loads of stone fruits, a fine herbaceous bitterness and some mineral tones. It finishes quite long on pepper and fresh tobacco. Very good and friendly but what a pity we had to be so patient after uncorking.
