Jaume "Clos de Sixte" Lirac 2003

Deep red.

Deep nose of red and black fruit jelly, pepper and clay.

Round and mouth-coating, with spicy red fruit jelly flavor taking over the mouth. Acid-driven, light tannin inches into the picture late. Packed and very tasty. Just lacks any real complexity.

I think the blend here is similar to Chateauneuf (Grenache dominant).
