Leon Barral, Faugeres 2006

Deep red.

Vinturi - earth/iron/fig sauce/grilled meat nose. Light roasted herb note too.

Round, with a really sexy, sweet, textural feel. Expansive, but not fat/easy, as there's a nice edge of acidity that builds into the finish. Spicy, plush, red and black fruit flavors flow through the finish. Another stupid deal from southern France. This rocks.

Day 2 - Not much has changed up front, but the finish already shows signs of oxidation. If you open it, drain it. Which probably won't be too hard for most (normal) people.

$19. Primarily Grenache and Carignan.
