Community Tasting Note

eboracum Likes this wine:

Friday, September 12, 2014 - Conventional wisdom would have it that at 15 years a Coteaux du Languedoc should be well over the hill but this estate's wines have the knack of ageing gracefully. It is made from the usual regional cocktail of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Carignan, and really sings. Deep colour and medium plus body, good length and very harmonious showing still fresh and quite primary fruit with sweet cherry and strawberry notes, traces of wet leather and lively acidity together with secondary aromas of tar and garrigue. There were no signs of decline. The 1998 was showing equally well at a similar age. Very good.
