Saint Jacques d'Albas
La Chapelle Minervois Syrah Blend
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.

Jul 10th, 2017Drinkable but a little too sweet and alcoholic for my taste. A little more freshness would do wonders.
