Domaine Le Bout du Monde
L'echappée belle Rouge Syrah
Languedoc Roussillon, France
Man. Struggled through this bottle. Started off promising but quickly went downhill. VERY unfiltered, as easily seen by the dark, non-evenly distributed clouds that swirled in the glass. I’m getting weary of natural wines lately and this is a good reminder of why. I didn’t get the normal Brettanomyces funk of most natural wines, just an odd/off cherry aroma and some indecipherable floral scents. Candy flavors and a tart-iness that stung my tongue a bit. Jill couldn’t finish her glass, but i powered through two more before giving up.

Smoke and spice on the nose. Super fruit forward but with a good amount of oak and tanins to hold up.
