Monday, June 7, 2010 - This was supposed to be included in a Rose flight and the color puzzled me. Given my vast knowledge of french wines, I finally made the obvious connection that this was not Rose, I started to think about the wine (once I got the damn ice chill off the wine and warmed it up!). Dark spice nose, with a bit of a gingerbread oak-like note, with the oak also showing up in the body of the wine. Also seemed quite big and ripe, and married with the oak, I would have not guessed french, aside from a bit of the funky, stable note that is in the palate of the wine. I wonder as to whether this wine was opened too soon or is this the style of the producer. This wine needs another 1-2 years to settle (?).
