Peyre Rose "Clos des Cistes" Coteaux du Languedoc 1995

Deep red, garnet rim.

Subtle nose that seems to show a Bordeaux-like oak integration, even though I'm fairly certain that this was raised in tank.
Very light hint of game, red cherry liqueur, Frangelico and pepper. Quite attractive, seductive not overpowering.
Aromatic range expanding significantly with air.


Light/medium-bodied in the mouth, nice fruit sweetness in the mouth, tempered by acid-driven tannin. Flavor inpact is substantial, yet subtle, which sounds ridiculous. Wonderfully idiosyncratic wine, from a woman who painted her winery pink.

This definitely needs air.

Mostly Syrah with a bit of Grenache (I think).


$ 35?
