Domaine Gramenon 1998 Les Laurentides Red (Côtes du Rhône)

Country: France / Les Laurentides
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: Domaine Gramenon / Côtes du Rhône

A very Grenache-like wine, with red berries, rhubarb, meat and spices on the nose. Earth and anise notes in the mouth add interest, and there is a fine fruit-acid balance here. Sweet berries, a strong mineral component and fine tannic structure shine on the solid finish. Tight now, it will show better in two or three years.
