Blanched almonds and dried prunes,
A nice, well rounded nose of old world.

Still a bit tight, and could use a few more years to smooth out.
Heavier bodied, Licorice, horehound, pomegranate, black fruit.
Mouth filling tannins, chewy!
9v acidity.
This is a great producer, loved for years. And I always have one on the shelf.

Cassis soaked cedar staves, a great nose.
Blackberries, mint, tarragon, hints of sage, medium weight, lip smacking choppy bits of oak.

It has been raining for so long, and after bucket emptying full window wells, I wanted a hearty rainy day wine.

This was the year I visited the vineyard, and winery in Tavel. A glass raised for the brother passed, and a tip of the hat to the one that carried on.

Truly, you can never go wrong with any Domain de la Morderee.

Very extracted. Big bold and heady. All liqueur fruits, liquorice and chocolate. Not for the faint hearted. Deep, full, concentrated with newer polished oak. Modern style, not sure on its longevity as the acid lacking

My favorite. Huge aroma of earth and Oregono. Hard to describe except my mouth was alive forever. This wine is aged perfectly and ready to go. Drink it now. Only draw back is the 40 dollar price tag.

Burnt umber. If one could smell it that's what this would be. 5 hours of airtime.
Blackberry rolled up in cedar shavings. Bits of Brett, with high acid. Hot! This tastes as if I could blow fire. Tight still, needs more time.
