GUIDE HACHETTE 2010
Côtes du Rhône Villages Red 2006, 2**, France
” … The three months in barrel have given this dark 2006 a powerful roasted, woody nose. But the fruit doesn’t let up, expressing itself with notes of cherries and stewed blackberries. This palette extends to a round, opulent palate with silky tannins. Cherry brandy provides a warm finish. “
– Lirac Rouge Cuvée MARIE 2007, 2**, France
” …small yields and great ripeness of the grapes have produced this plum-colored wine, with a still timid nose that reveals scents of red and black fruits and undergrowth. Supple, warm and sustained by mellow tannins, the palate is more expressive, harmoniously blending morello cherry, blackberry, blackcurrant, prune and licorice. Keep for a couple of years and serve with lamb kebabs or roast pigeon. “
