Domaine de la Bastide
Cuvée les Figues Côtes du Rhône Syrah Blend
Young and fresh.
Vanilla cake topped with a berry compote, that’s what this nose has to tell.
Soft candied fruitcake fruits, yet only a hint. This quickly turns into Pom and cherry, no sugar added type of juice, with just enough barrel aging to temper these fresh fruits. Some of that lovely popsicle stick tannic /acidity blend to bring up the back end. A lovely wine, if you give it some air time. A couple of hours in, and it is drinking perfect.

Very light and fruity on the first taste with a little bit of a bite to round it out.
