Surprisingly this wine had color, bouquet and taste of the wine with much younger vantage than declared on the label, I personally would assume st like 2008 vintage. It also ended on the one before last place.

You think age would have helped or just simply not a good wine?
ReplyDeleteI do not think the age would do much. I suspect some fishy staff as I do not believe it to be 06 vintage.
ReplyDeleteespecially with all the fraud being revealed in France, latest one the famous pinot noir from languedoc. check out red bicycle on the web.
ReplyDeleteAge didn't help to soften its harsh & unripe tannines. Only accompanied with some meaty food this wine can be enjoyed. Its fruit is still there, but more in the scent then in taste. Bit of a dissapointedment. This appelation can do better!
