Vin de Pays de Vaucluse, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceA second shipment of the 2004 has arrived under screwcap and as predicted is sporting a bit more fruit and showing a little less resiny characters. Still quite spicy with a cassis, licorice root and garrigue nose. Lean with spicy cherry, tomato leaf flavours. Simple straight up merlot that could use decanting for 30 minutes for best results.Tasted: 16 May 2006Tasted by: Prices:

Vin de Pays de Vaucluse, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceCherry, spicy, cassis, licorice root and garrigue nose. Dry, slightly lean entry with dry tannins and light body. Lean, somewhat acidic palate with hot cherry, smoky, cassis, tomato leaf and resin flavours. Needs to soften out. It will be shipped under screwcap. Let's hope for more fruit.
