Lesec "Chasse-Temps" Chateauneuf du Pape 2004

Light red.

Spicy red fruit/garrigue nose, moderate intensity, fresh.

Round, spicy, acid-driven entry, with garrigue front and center and cranberry/red cherry in background. Acid drives slightly aggressive (stem?) tannin to the sides of the mouth. Not brutal, however, with quite lifted/fresh/pungent flavor. Light to medium impact, but lots of flavor interest. Needs a few years.

Day 2 - Even fresher today, pungent red fruit and resinous herbs in the mouth. Chewy, no weight. Think Burgundy baby.
Fun stuff.
