2007 Domaine De La Janasse Cotes du Rhone Les Garrigues

Tasting Note:

A whopper the 2007 Cotes du Rhone Les Garrigues is one of the finest Cotes du Rhones I have ever tasted. Cropped at 25 hectoliters per hectare and made from 100% Grenache (80-year-old vines just across the border from Chateauneuf du Pape) this sublime wine boasts a dense purple color as well as a stunning bouquet of kirsch licorice pepper and spice box. The explosive aromatics are followed by a full-bodied voluptuously textured super rich wine with great purity and depth. The 1990 Les Garrigues is still holding up beautifully and while I usually try to drink my Cotes du Rhones in their first 3-5 years of life this offering has at least a decade of _wow_ status. This remarkable wine must be tasted to be believed! Source: Wine Advocate
