nose is fine and presents a great aromatic richness with notes of sweet spices (cinnamon, cardamom) and exotic fruits( mango, papaya, and guava). On the palate, it shows a great complexity: supple and ample, with persistence on spicy and mango flavours.
Buttery? — 2 years ago
blend of Grenache, Mourvedre, and Syrah, the long, hot, dry growing season produced great wines, and this Cairanne is from some of the oldest plots of the appellation, 100 years for the Grenache! The combination of the vineyards and the vintage produced reds with great focus, dark aromas of plums and red cherries with plenty of tannins and structure.
Peppery — 2 years ago
Extremely pale salmon skin. Fresh red berries, honeysuckle and a hint of toasty lees on a deeply perfumed nose.
Watery, not very flavorful — 2 years ago
crisp and minerally Champagne, with well-cut acidity and a lightly chalky texture that frames flavors of crunchy pear and lemon sorbet with accents of oyster shell, pickled ginger and toasted brioche. — 2 years ago
