Domaine de Poulvarel, Costieres de Nimes 2007

Deep red.

Vinturi - idiosyncratic, southern French nose - basil, earth, deep, bass, black fruit, pepper and other "stuff" I can't articulate.

Round, deep and all bass in the mouth as well. Could use more lift, although that may well come with more air time. Lots of material, but not singing at the moment. Iron note in the constricted finish.

Day 7 - No sign of oxidation on the nose. I'd guess this to be primarily Mourvedre. Deep black fruit, spice and game flavors now show a perfumed quality in the finish.


$17. 50% Grenache, 50% Syrah.
