Winery - Cave de Rasteau

April 4, 2012
Sour and a little tanic, almost citrusy/grapefruit like - strange for a red. Not sure if it was maybe under decanted (or over?). Uncertain whether I would try it again, definitely an odd CdR.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Slight reductive aromas, earthy but more flavorful on the palate. Sweet cherry compote, candied strawberry and hints of black tea, asphalt and black olive tapenade. Fairly extracted, full-bodied, plush with a sweet, spicy finish.

Deep black color with distinctive rancio, spirity, ultra-ripe nose. Sweet with warm, spicy jammy red fruit flavors. Full-bodied with moderate acidity, supple tannins. Well-integrated alcohol, smooth with a moderately long finish.
