Abbott's and Delaunay Corbières Reserve 2014
Corbières, Languedoc, Sud de France, FrancePotent and direct, now worn soft around the sides with some time, this is drawn from three terroirs: easter Corbières, south, near the edge of the Fitou and 15 percent from the Corbières Boutenac cru. This spent time on lees, 40 percent in barrels (20 percent new) and 60 percent in stainless. Drilling dark anise, cassis jam, brooding black pepper and sultry pipe tobacco along sticky, ripe tannins to a warming, espresso bitter finish. Even open a day in advance, this welcomes hearty beef and lamb shank to counter.Tasted: 27 June 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $20.00 | 750ml | estimated retail |
