Gauby "Les Calcinaires" Cotes du Roussillon Villages 2007

Red.

Reasonably expressive nose - game, ground pepper, red fruit with an exotic pineapple flair.

Round, with subtle sweeteness in the mouth. Ground pepper and light game repeat. Obviously riper than the 2004, which also translates into better mid-palate flesh and overall flavor "density".

Day 2 - More typical herbs, game/roasted meat nose now. Riper than the '04, but that's not saying much, really. Very tight in the mouth, more so than yesterday.
