2008 Mas de Boislauzon Châteauneuf-du-Pape $36


So this wine is dark. It was like looking through a welders mask when not welding. Ruby on the rim but dark in the middle. Notes of dark cherry and earth with some nice spices in the middle. Finish was dry but made you wanting more. It is like a drug that you know will get better each time you taste it. Finish was longer than I thought it would be. Again one needs to remember that these are ‘old world’ types of wines so tasters beware..or take the sip and try something new. Again I love it.

This wine is a blend of 65% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, and 5% Syrah. Only 1600 cases produced so really 1599 after I was done.
