Chateau des Cres Ricards, Terrasses Du Larzac (Languedoc, France) 2012

Dec 31, 2014

By Rich Cook

This glass presents aromas of jumping in a pile of fresh fallen leaves, with tobacco leaf, black pepper and fall spice backed by black cherry, currants and mild vanilla that translate beautifully on a dry food friendly palate.  I’d serve something gamey here.  Contains 70% Syrah and 30% Grenache.
