  August 28, 2012 - Blind Southern Rhone Lineup: Much darker than the Charbonniere HdB '07--opaque, deep crimson, and nearly indiscernible meniscus. Aromas of reglisse, wet leather and wet horse, blueberry syrup, lavender and Kalimata olives. Vibrant, energetic flavors, acid-rich, zingy alcohol, supple but abundant tannin, black cherry, herbes de Provence, and cranberry concentrate. I made a casual assumption based on the wine's concentration and posture that this was southern sector cuvee speciale CdP. Wrong. Christophe Delorme's 2007 Domaine de la Mordoree Lirac Cuvee de la Reine des Bois. This is in a great place right now--what a wine. And I paid 17 Euro for it on a fire-sale. Awesome.
