Romain & Thibaut Chamfort
Domaine De Verquiere Rasteau
Rasteau, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Dirty ruby in color with a wide reddish /brick rim.
Nose of black currants, plums, bell pepper, oak, licorice, cloves, earth, vegetables, spices, tobacco, leaf, forest floor, bitter herbs and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice legs.
Dry and earthy on the palate with plums, black currants, bitter vegetables, herbs, spices, wet leaves, tobacco leaf, pencil lead, bell pepper, peppercorn and earth.
Short finish with bitter green tannins and tangy cranberries.
This Grenache blend from the Rhône Valley is earthy and a bit unbalanced. Soft and smooth and very savory.
A little over the hill by now, as it lost much of the fruits, with a bitter ending. I had the 2016 not too long ago, and it was yummy.
A blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah.
14% alcohol by volume.
84 points.
$18.
