Vin de Pays de l'Hérault Red Blend

Vintage 2014| beautiful expression, very round wine | paired with smoked salmon

From magnum, bought at the cellar door. This was a great bottle to share w old friends whom we travelled with to the winery 15+ years ago.
This is still firm, and starting to dry out. With mostly tertiary bottle aromas of fruit leather, wet stone, hint of cherry preserves/bitter almond.
The memory in this bottle is perhaps more important than the actual flavor.

Quite chunky and needs time. Purple fruit and garrigue, tons of minerality, almost overwhelmingly so. This needs a few years to rein itself in. Certainly a special wine in the making. Value-wise, it's probably commensurate with the price point, but there's a unique-ness to this that makes the cost somewhat moot - a unicorn wine.

Relaeased in 2016. Youthful tannic rustic

An old-y but a goody

Plenty of red fruits, pine, fresh herbs on nose; wine is developing, palate showing mushroom, tobacco and dark fruits, big tannins, balancing acidity and ripe fruit on the (long) finish

Un peu dur, pas tout à fait en place, dans le creux

pure unbridled funk. Animal, earth, mineral. It's all in there.

Delicious but don't recommend baby killin

Nice weight and plenty of recognizable Cabernet Sauvignon qualities: blackberries, cassis, and bell pepper.
