Aromas of crushed, ripe blackberries, clove, hints of anise, spiced orange, and sage all come together in the 2018 Gour de Chaulé Côtes du Rhône, creating an alluring and deeply satisfying bouquet. On the palate, soft textures are complemented by fleshy blue and black fruits, along with notes of sweet licorice and purple-tinged florals, as minerals slowly settle in, adding gravitas. The finish is long, staining the senses in fruit concentrate, yet also centered by brisk acids, arriving late in the experience, or possibly, just in time. Wow.

Manages to be fruity, leathery and spicy at the same time. Well balanced, long finish. Good quality for $40.
