| 75 | | | 91 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Full-bodied dry red wine; opaque purple red. Initial suggestion of tar in aromas, then baked dark fruits, such as plum, and finally hints of chocolate. Chocolate notes also on the palate, along with aromatic dark spices and dark fruits, both fresh and dried. Silky but well-defined tannins that lend substance to the mouthfeel without being aggressive. Grapes: Syrah (65%), Grenache, Carignan and a little Mourvèdre, a portion of which sees some time in oak. A sense of alcohol in the long finish, but not excessive. Serve cool, about 60ºF, in tall tulip-shaped glasses. First reds vintage done in1996. See causse definied above.
Suggested Food Pairings:
Meat- or cheese-filled ravioli with tomato sauce, Parmesan cheese; roast duck; barbecued meatloaf or chicken, Southern-style pulled pork or smoked ribs with tomato-based barbecue sauce; braised red meats with mashed potatoes, polenta or noodles, firm aged cheeses. Dark chocolate hazelnut terrine. Maybe mole poblano?
