Domaine Brusset
La Bastide Rasteau Red Rhone Blend
Rasteau, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Surprisingly complex red, well structures with nice acidity and some stretchy tannins on the finish. Great with cheesesteaks.

Dark red purple. Inviting nose of black cranberry and patent leather. Medium full palate echoes the nose adding a hintnn by of black olive and licorice on the finish. Medium plus tannins. Medium plus acidity. Classic Rhône with a slightly New World sheen. Great with beef or rustic pork dishes.

Not getting the 92WA rating. Amazing nose but doesn't follow through. Sour cherry and rhubarb dominate the palate and the tannins are astringent. Disappointing.

Solid Big French red blend - sturdy, well structured with a slight acidic finish. Pair this with a meal as this needs some red meat or cheese to balance!

Strong, slightly astringent nose despite 90 mins open. Smoked ham on the nose, cat piss (just a little bit), dried apricots, ripe plums/purple fruits, gravel, allspice, Catholic Church™️.

Juicy red fruit and spice. Cherry twizzlers? Throws some sediment so decanting is recommended.
