Domaine La Tour Vieille
Les Canadells Collioure
Always a treat. Overperforms on so many levels. Brilliantly fruited, saline, mineral, and pleasingly phenolic all at once. Harmonious and graceful.

Oct 25th, 2022Glowing, radiant fruit mixed with salty/mineral tones and a distinctive phenolic grip adding dimension and structure. Skin contact dialed in. Graceful and nimble given its richness. White peach, orange cream, scrubland, salt, crushed rock, green almond, yellow flowers, beeswax. Played incredibly well with roasted Halibut, chorizo and ratatouille

Jul 3rd, 2021Unassuming. Strict, quiet, barely there aromas of gunpowder, white flowers, blanched almonds. The pale hay colors suggest this is light and easy. It’s not.
It’s 14.5% - fatty oily, type A introvert of a wine.
Slightly hot, we get yellow peach, jasmine, almond. Drink this at cellar temp and drink slow, as she charges quick.

From Yapp. 14.5%. Powerful white. Would buy again
