Gauby "Les Calcinaires" Cotes du Roussillon Villages 2004

Deep red.

Nose wrapped up a bit - earth/oak spice(?)/nut oil with red fruit underneath.

Lightweight in the mouth, with intense mineral/acid structure coating the front teeth. Cherry and mineral flavors are subtle and long. Mineral chew start to finish. Another wine that is completely out of tune with the contemporary wine scene. Seems like a great Beaujolais substitute. Try this with roast chicken.


Day 3 - More giving and attractive on the nose. More red fruit in the mouth, where I'm now reminded of Chianti, but not a particularly distinguished one. Finely rendered, linear. Lacks depth - picked early?
