One of those unicorn wines. Just a unique wine made of blend of varietals. Mostly Cab but some Pinot in there too. 2003 gives it a brickish color. Gorgeous wine with lively fruit and good acidity; lingering on the palate. “Daumas Gassac apparently has a geological formation unique in the Languedoc: chalky, friable, poor in humus, the bits of earth ranging in size from mere grains of sand to little stones, a soil similar in aspect, similar in constitution, to that of the Côte d’Or and the Italian Friuli.” Excerpt from Adventures of The Wine Route. — 2 months ago
Very nice balance of the grapes. Pairs well with grilled chicken and pork. — 4 months ago
Better than my last bottle. More elegant and integrated. Med+ ruby red, though still faintly transparent.
The nose is pronounced with red raspberry, wild strawberry, charcoal, light notes of wood smoke, camphor, some notes if sandalwood and sweet violets.
The palate is med bodied, with fine grained med- tannin, medium acidity, with med+ palate flavors that are weightless and med+ in length. This is VERY good and best ever for me of this cuvee. — 3 hours ago
