Mas des Montagnes "Terroirs d'Altitude" 2016
France, Côtes du Roussillon-Villages AOC
Grenache, Syrah
Description
A heady and rich wine right from the start, it opens with seductive notes of brambly blackberry, wild raspberry, sweet spice, licorice and toast. It's full and weighty, with a texture like crushed velvet and a deep palate that continues to provide additional layers of flavor with each sip. Sweet spice, cocoa powder and mocha flavors linger on the evolving finish.
