| Community Tasting Notes (average 87 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 6 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Adirondack Steve on 12/19/2009 & rated 87 points: Needs to be decanted but nice dark berries and earthyness (1458 views) | | | Tasted by tgatesman on 5/25/2009 & rated 88 points: nice enough; short on finish; smells hot but does not translate to taste (1797 views) | | | Tasted by Sakas on 5/22/2009 & rated 87 points: Initially got some steely aromas, red fruit, and a bit of alcohol on the nose. This opens up and becomes more pleasant with some air.
Decanted 45 minutes, nice minerals, dark fruit, a but of funk, perhaps a hint of ripe boysenberries. The nose transfers to the palate. This is nice and elegant in the mouth. Some soft tannins and a spritz of acidity on the midpalate. I agree with other tasters that this is a nice old world profile.
I don't have much experience with wines from Languedoc, but I don't see this improving with more cellar time. Drink up!

A good amount of dark fruit, leather, and horse sweat. Not bad for 11$ and free shipping. (1714 views) | | | Tasted by NickG on 3/4/2008: Classic southern French nose of dark fruit, herbs, and spice. On the palate, similar southern French flavors, bolstered by medium acidity. Seems a bit lightweight though, a perception accentuated by the lack of any integrated tannins. Decent, but nothing special. (1713 views) |
