| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
DOMAINE DE BILA-HAUT |
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, spicy, baked plum-apple nose with some sandalwood notes. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, slightly spicy, bright, ripe plum-cherry flavours with some dusty cedar notes on the lingering, crisp, mercaptan-tinged (shades of burnt tire) finish. Jeb Dunnuck says that this is a blend of 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache (but who knows as the website includes Carignan). It has 14.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar. TONY ASPLER / 89-points / BEST BUY - Reductive nose of blackberries with a floral note; medium to full-bodied, dry, fruity but firm black fruit flavours with bitter chocolate notes and lively acidity. It sells at the SAQ for $23.75 (#11925666). |

| TASTING NOTE: Sporting a deep purple-almost blue-color, the sensational 2016 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Lesquerde l'Esquerda has a northern Rhône-like minerality as well as notes of classic black and blue fruits, crushed flowers, ozone and licorice. Made from 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache, all from granitic soils, it's a rich, structured, full-bodied and age-worthy red that will drink nicely through 2026. The quality of this release continues to soar and there are not many values like this out there today. Drink Date: 2017-2026. Score - 94-96 (Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com, April 28, 2017) |
