Zélige-Caravent
Manouche Alicante Bouschet
Had forgotten the variety here until posting. Now the inky purple /ruby color makes sense. This is natural wine from organically farmed grapes. No vintage on the label, but this must be at least 4-5 years old. The bottle age helped the ML prickle I find in many of these wines mellow a bit. Noticeable RS, so semi-dangerous for extended aging but this bottle was very good w popcorn and kids movies while shut in 🍿🎥👍🏼

Jul 12th, 2015Funky fruity steely nose, dark inky color. Distinct iron flavor with some ripe blackberry. Viscous and silky. Interesting and nerdy. Pair with younger semi hard Pyrenees or Spanish cheeses.
