Les Baux-de-Provence Red

Dark, glass-clinging, near black purple. Inviting nose of black fruits and new leather. Medium full palate echoes the nose adding a silky plum and soft (medium) tannins. Medium acidity. Medium, blackberry-ish finish. Excellent intro to the rouge side of Provence. Cold weather (drinking) varieties in the body of a warmer weather red. Light cuts of beef and cookout fare will pair nicely, as will any classic “sit down” red wine meals. Drink now

Taste reveals its red wine roots - on top of the light bright fruit is a deeper hue at the back of the palate that satisfies like a well balanced cab merlot.

Nose: elegant and soft nose. Also a little stink. Opens up into soft earthy tones. Maybe some bell pepper. Hints of fig at times.
Palate: the same. Medium acid and tannins. This wine’s palate was very challenging to pin down. General earthiness and a little spice.

Très bon, de l'evolution, fin. Belle découverte

Smooth, earthy, bit stinky, elegant, original
