La Bastide St Dominique Cotes du Rhone Red 750ml

Tasting notes

Deep garnet color. Delicate nose with notes of crisp red fruits, black currant jelly, raspberries, then, after aeration notes of cedar. Frank attack, supported by fine and fleshy tannins and an almost mentholated finale. Clean, well balanced wine with minerality.
