Les Halos de Jupiter Côtes Du Rhône 2010

Côtes du Rhône, Rhone Valley, FranceThe grapes come off a high altitude vineyard near Roaix at the northern edge of the Southern Rhône. The blend is an 85/10/5 mix of very old grenache, syrah and mourvèdre. The wine is aged for one year in concrete vats. Expect a spicy robust red with a warm nose and palate. The palate is floral with sweet blackberry fruit pepper and black liquorice. The finish is long warm and sweet in a tolerable way. Lamb chops would be a fine match.Tasted: 06 December 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
