M. Chapoutier Domaine de Bila-Haut Occultum Lapidem Rouge 2004

Côtes du Roussillon Villages, Roussillon, Sud de France, FranceA big intense powerful red wine from the Côtes du Roussillon Villages made by Rhone specialist Chapoutier at Domaine Bila Haut. The fruit is bio-dynamically farmed including a handful of 90 year old vines. The floral mineral, burnt earth aromas waft from this grenache, carignan and syrah blend. Lovely black fruit flavours spiked with liquorice and garrigue. Impressive for the price.Tasted: 19 April 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
