Community Tasting Notes 9

  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.

  December 29, 2012 - Vraiment très bien maintenant que les tannins sont plus civilisés. Très proche du '97 qui nous l'a fait découvrir au Qc. Sans parler d'un RQP remarquable, c'était un très bon achat en 2001. J'attends 5 ans pour mon 2005 maintenant...

  July 25, 2012 - A much better showing this time around as the big tannins have finally rounded out and softened. Seems to be at a good point for drinking. A lot softer overall than on release.

  September 9, 2008 - Very nice drinking right now. Good depth of fruit with a touch of mushroom and whiff of maturity. Nice

  April 5, 2007 - Just kind of dull and funky with stretched out fruit and a pugly finish. Gave it a long time to improve and it didn't. Tasted off.
