Winemaker's Notes
|
| Again the 2006 pedigree shines through with its dark colour, intense perfume and elegance. The nose is a mix of beetroot, cherries and crème caramel. The flavours are rich and lush with black fruits and silky tannins. With airing the wine reveals characteristic flavors of boot polish, dark chocolate, flint, dried roses and lavender. |

| 75 | | | 90 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | GSM—that’s how Australia describes wines that blend the Rhône varieties Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Vinified mostly in French oak, this full-bodied dry red wine shows a medium-deep dark cherry red color. On the nose, there’s an initial scent of candied apple, but it evolves into vanilla, followed by spice and fresh dark fruits, especially plums. The alcohol is high (15%), so the finish is a little warm, but the generous fruit goes far to balancing it out. There’s a slight note of caramel on the nose and in the finish, indicating some use of American oak. But all is in balance. Serve cool, about 60ºF/15ºC, in large tulip-shaped glasses. Foods: aspic-covered liver pâté; roast turkey; grilled lamb shoulder steak; grilled hangar steak; shepherd’s pie or pot pie made with ground beef; picadillo; mild, aged cheeses; dark chocolate, which should bode well for mole poblano.
