Community Tasting Notes (average 85 pts. and median of 85 pts. in 1 note) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by DanR on 9/21/2019 & rated 85 points: Entry level kitchen sink blend from Cave de Roquebrun. Rustic and savory, plump and open with dusty, inky dark fruit and herbaceous elements on the finish. Speaks of its origins, well made and certainly good enough. (179 views)
