This was a great find! How often do you aged French wine or any wine for $18? Hardly ever! So when you find gems like this you have to swoop on it. That's one of the first things I learned from my old boss (in terms of wine). A lot of wine drinkers always drink wine that is no more than four years old and that's a shame because there's nothing better on this earth than a nicely aged good bottle of wine.
I digress, this bottle is from Coteaux d'Aix en Provence France, near the Mediterranean Sea. Usually this zone is home to grapes such as grenache, and cinsault, but this bottle is 50
% syrah and 50% mourvedre. The finish goes down ultra smooth with hints of spicy fruits. The aromas are rich with dark fruits; maybe blackberry or black cherry. For the price at this vintage, this is a total steal for any wino or cork dork (cool huh?).
5 out of 5 Corks!!!
