Tardieu-Laurent 2008 Guy Louis Red (Côtes du Rhône)

Country: France / Guy Louis
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: Tardieu-Laurent / Côtes du Rhône

This lush wine will be too oaky for purists, but there is no denying the superb quality of the underlying fruit. It’s full-bodied, soft and succulent in texture, with cassis fruit framed by ample cedar and vanilla. A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah. Drink now–2018.
