Vintage 2001 - this is an elegant and refined Grand Old Lady! Its strikes me with its power. It flirts with red fruit impressions (strawberries). It smells like an autumnwood after rain. Its silky. Probably the wine was not intended to keep for 16 years, but with its tertiary tones its still vital. #provence #palette Mix of several grapes with mourverdre, cinsault, grenache. I drank it with a terrine of gamepaté, a baby chicken from the oven (poussin), stewed green cabbage and mashed potatoes. #simplepleasures
