Community Tasting Note

Monday, October 17, 2022 - It is interesting to compare this to the straight Corbières Hérésie, also from Bertrand, which was used in the cooking of the accompanying rich beef stew. This is more dense, darker in complexion, rounder, more perfumed and more complex, probably due to the obligatory Carignan (up to 50%) in this C-Boutenac appellation. However at this stage I found the presence of vanilla aromas from the élevage excessive for my palate as also were the dry caramel notes from wood tannins towards the finish, which was further boosted by 15% alcohol. The wine is still young round at its 2nd anniversary so I hope these oaky aromas and tastes will become better integrated in a couple of years or so. So I think that there is potential here, though I prefer the Hérésie right now.
