Rasteau, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
For some reason I had low expectations for this but then it was legit. Med body and ripe flavors.

Smells like cured meat, smoke, cherries. Taste heavy on cherries leaning slightly towards NyQuil, but in a good way. Drank with braised duck thigh and carrots, brought out a more creamy texture.

Deep dark velvet. Rich and supple, smoky. A must have food wine.

Mar 2nd, 2017Colour: ruby-violet
Nose: Rich and warm bag of red and – mostly – black fruit: black cherries, black currant, peppery note, garrigue spices.
Palate: Light and lively in tannins, not too strong... Good garrigue spices and raspberry. It exhibits a young style – quite astringent and brush, but still good level of acidity.
(25th September – The Sampler – Islington – Enomatic)
