Château Pesquié Côtes-du-Ventoux Quintessence Rouge 2007
Sud de France, FranceBig spicy, barnyard, black cherry jam, black raspberry, licorice, saddle leather, meaty, cedar, floral, garrigue and beef Oxo cube aromas. Rich, warm, round, sophisticated, intense palate with light tannins and excellent acid. The attack is spicy, smoked meat, Oxo cube affair with garrigue, jasmine, black cherry compote, orange peel, licorice root, leather and tobacco flavours. It is a full-blown, slightly rustic style with some warmth but with high concentration. It takes a few years to round out, or you can try it with grilled steak and rosemary. At Pesquié, the Quintessence Rouge is an 80/20 blend of syrah and grenache that is selected from old, south-facing vines that sit at an altitude of 230 to 260 meters.Tasted: 14 January 2011Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $30.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
