Roasted plum
it offers up a brooding nose of licorice
The 2018 Les Perrieres de Lafleur is a blend of 49% Merlot and 51% Cabernet Franc
Here the nose offers a moderate step up in aromatic elegance with its nose of both red and dark berry fruit scents that are liberally laced with earth and floral hints
showing power but no coarseness
Patrick Lesec, Chateauneuf Du Pape Marquis Tonneaux Brut Zero Roasted plumDense and structured, the 2001 Patrick Lesec Chteauneuf du Pape Marquis Tonneaux is a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Mourvdre. Showing deep black cherry and mineral laced dark fruits intermixed with licorice, wild herbs, pepper, the wine is medium to full bodied with a firm, structured core, beautifully ripe fruit, good acidity, and a long, grippy, focused finish. While still in need of another 2 to 4 years for prime drinking, I love the structure and
