Famille Perrin Côtes du Rhône Rouge Réserve 1999

Côtes du Rhône, Rhone Valley, FranceThe reserve is usually about 60 percent grenache blended with a 20/10/10 mix of syrah, mourvèdre and cinsault. Look for an elevated blackberry/cherry character on the nose and similar intensity in the mouth. It's earthy black fruit flavours and dry stylish finish suggests this could be a fine food wine. Richer and smoother with less fresh fruit and more terroir versus the regular - as the price would dictate.Tasted: 14 January 2002Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
