Vintage 2004 | Gem found in a corner of the cellar. Minervois is able to age, at least this cuvée from Syrah/Grenache. Velvety and rich. Warm spicyness. Paired with saucages and cauliflower.

Loads of Syrah spice and bay leaves additions, complementing its developed fruit character where pure, gently dried cherries, figs, Vahlrona chocolate and blackberry jam add complexity to the still promising, built-up finish.

Smells like a fermentation room. Tastes heavy, dark fruits and very strong tannins. Big legs.

Drinkable but a little too sweet and alcoholic for my taste. A little more freshness would do wonders.

Rich. Good mineral balance. Typical Syrah notes. Red sweet tart in the back. Lots of tannins. Plenty of legs left in this. I think it was around 12eur.
