  Bold fruit and a little spicy. Needs to breathe for an hour or so. Good wine.

  This wine has settled in to a very nice Tour Les Jour with medium bodied dried fruit entry, olive tapenade, feild herbs. And a Fairly long finish. Opened substantially with an hour decant. Wish I had bought more. 92

  Domaine Lafage Tessellae Old Vines Côtes du Roussillon Grenache Blend 2018: Medium ruby in color; cherries, red plums, a hint of oak, and dried herbs on the nose; high acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like dried figs, raspberries, olives, and crushed rocks with a long hot finish. Too hot and too bitter for my tastes. Nellie doesn't like it either. It improved with aeration, but still too off balanced in my opinion.

  Big bold red fruits, tart, with chewy tannis. Dry, spicy on the finish. A wake up call to your mouth. Definitely let it breathe out.
