  Very nice and actually quite elegant. Scent of blood, leather and herbs. The alcohol is not to obvious.

  Location: Uzes, South of France. Opened 4 hours before. Bought at auction. Nearly black coloured. On the nose very alcoholic, heavy and sluggish. I do not get a lot here. Tastes as bouquet suggested. Reminds me most of the wines from the South of France. Difficult to tame in their youth, but some may become gems in their best age. However, compare this to Peira or a Muntada and there are worlds in between them. The Clos de Fees tries to emulate them, but does it work? Currently not, later?

  Explosion of flavours and wonderful structure.
  To be opened long before to get all in.

  DHWine tasting. A lovely wine, good with many foods (tasted with pâté/bread, cheeses and cured sausage).

  Deep ruby core, medium ruby rim. Imposing nose of dark fruit, roast meat, smoke, spices, etc. On the palate, medium plus finish with notes of dark chocolate, coffee ground. Medium acidity, full bodied, with ample of fruit. Finish is medium plus. Tannins supple and ripe. I'm not too familiar with the track record of this particular wine. I have a feeling it might not be built for the long haul. But it's complex and intense, and drinking really well now. Will hold for another 5 to 10 years.
