Domaine du Clos des Fées (Hervé Bizeul)
Le Clos des Fées Grenache Blend
Languedoc Roussillon, France
Dark ruby in color with a short purple rim.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing black plums, cooked cherries, spices, light oak, licorice, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs and light black pepper.
Medium minus on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime.
Interesting and easy drinking. Not too fruit forward and good by itself or with food.
On the way out, so drink up.
A blend of 50% Syrah, 20% Carignan, 20% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre.
15% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$55.

I loved it in older vintages, and love it in its young age too…. GSM+Carignan

No notes - needs a bit more time or air (opened for 3 hours prior to pouring) - a great wild nose with wild blackberry notes and oaky notes, great acid drive, long finish with fruity and oaky notes

Very special indeed. Balanced aromas, subtle yet rich… layers of flavors in fact. This is a GSM+ Carignan, in equal measures.

Not seeing RP’s 95, but it’s good. Great spiced fruit nose. Ripe with a tart finish. Just a whiff of stinky.

17 Not quite up to past bottles. But very satisfying. Just not very long.
