Domaine de L'Edre "L' Aibre" Cotes du Roussillon 2004

Red/purple.

Exotic mango, spice, toasted nut, spearmint nose. Crazy, intellectually invigorating action, again, from the south of France.
Just chuckle, shrug your shoulders, and ask "WTF?".

Round and sweet texturally. Seamless, with a sneaky acid/tannin synergy hitting the front teeth. Peach and black raspberry coulis, game/iron flavors ride through it all. Finishes with very good length and significant front-teeth chew.

Day 3 - Lower-toned nose now, more bass notes, but still very much in line with Day 1. slightly gamy/feral.
Suave/creamy/slightly sweet texturally through the mid-palate. In fact, structure is now an afterthought. Flavors, again, are very similar. Mint and black pepper as the only additions. This is very cool/killer.

50% Syrah, 25% Carignan, 25% Grenache. Raised in tank.
