Tonight's wine was purchased in May, from the May 14 Vintages Wine Release, featuring wines from Southern Rhône.
Tasting Note:
Lovely cherry, brandy, raspberry, earth, pepper aromas. Strong herbal characteristics, some plum and tobacco on the palate; short finishing. Definitely ready to drink now, but lip-smacking tannins would reward cellaring 1-2 years. Will be having this with fish in curry sauce.

Sounds awesome. I will have to check it out. BTW- since we like so many of the same wines and styles, I finally linked your blog on mine. Now back to working in order to buy wine...
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was really was a gem. :) Since you mention it, I was thinking the EXACT same thing earlier this week when I was on your blog - I couldn't believe I hadn't linked to your blog yet!
