Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (87-90)Three compnents tasted from barrel. Cinsault: Perfumed strawberry, smoke and game aroma. Intensely flavored, ripe and firm, with good acidity and finesse for '97. Grenache: Deeper red. Spicy cherry aroma. Fairly large-scaled but juicy. Plenty of palate presence. Another sample of grenache, at 15% alcohol: Riper red fruit, smoke and pepper aromas. Fatter and sweeter. Bigger tannic structure but less finesse. Should make a very rich Côtes du Rhône. |
