Tardieu-Laurent 2009 Les Becs Fins Red (Côtes du Rhône Villages)

Country: France / Les Becs Fins
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: Tardieu-Laurent / Côtes du Rhône Villages

This blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah is a bit feral, with sweaty leather notes that actually work well with the wine’s meaty, black olive and dark plum elements. It’s full bodied yet supple, with a lingering finish. Drink now–2015.
